26x10.5 or you can run a 28x10.5 but you may have to roll the lip on the wheel well.

Would putting slicks on just to run down the track a few times break your rear end?

No it doesn't. If he hooks that well with a stock rear.....it won't be pretty.

You have an LT1...which means less power.....Especially with that mileage.

You were saved by having an A4.. The 10 bolt is gonna die if you have a M6 and a heavy clutch. The factory clutch will usually slip enough to save the ring gear.

If he has an M6 or a Stall converter there is a very good chance he will pop it. Honestly you should be able to hook well enough with a good set of street tires. If not move to a set of drag radials and hope for the best. But you honestly should not need slicks.
