Default 17 inch Drag wheels

Hey All, Im currently switching to 17" beadlocks and im torn on tire size. Ive read a 26" will accelerate harder than a 28" but i cant find any 335/345s with enough sidewall for a 26 inch height.
My street wheels have 345/30/20s and their alittle tall for my liking.

Im looking at 345/40/17s, 335/35/17s or 305/45/17s.

Anyone care to share their pictures or experiences?

Wheels for attention

Don't know, car's never been on a dyno. My best guess would be around 600rwhp based on my quickest ET of 9.933@136.70MPH. My 60ft times are typically in the low 1.3s with 1.312 being my best.
