I don't have the measurements handy but I think those were like 28" on my C5 standard fronts (8.5").
Joe, I agree that the advertised numbers are somewhat off. However, I was trying to point out a wider wheel will decrease overall height.

Very true Gary.

You know we racers care about thing like tire height...you would think they would report them accurately!

Stock clutch + any drag radial = no problem launching

Aftermarket dual disk clutch to hold 650rwhp + drag radial = inconsistent and difficult to launch

Try more RPM. On my 17" bias ply ET Skreets, I'm leaving at 7100.

I can see that being possible because it takes time to figure out each combo and those tires are better suited for 500whp, but 1.4x's can be had with the right technique. It's harder with all that hp. You would be better off with 16" et streets.
If you want some help then pm me your setup and I'll get you pointed in the right direction.
