Default Drag wheel help needed!!!

Hey everyone,
Looking for some quick help so I can run in a couple weekends in vettes vs vipers here in NH. Anyway I've picked up a couple MT ET Street 26X11.5X16's that I need to mount on some wheels. I'm a tad bit worried of putting them on fbody 8 inch wide wheels and have read all the shaving you have to do for c4 wheels if you can find them. Does anyone know of the offset and backspacing I would need so I can order some cheap wheels from summit for the rear?? I got the whole front situation taken care of. Just need some wheels so I can get this thing ready, thanks in advance!!

I installed some Firebird rims with ET Streets earlier this evening. They seem to hook real well. You'll definitely get some end play, but that is normal when running a regular radial up front.
