Ok, calm down..
Look,.. M/T is a little misleading when they come to there tires.
Yes there drag tires are bigger then there ET streets.
Heres the info on sizes, and you decide.

M/T drag slick on a 15x8 rim (28x10.5)
10 inch tread
11.7 sec.
28 dia.

ET Street on a 8 inch rim (28x11.5)
8.6 tread
10.9 sec.
27.5 dia

Et street on 10 inch rim (28x12.5)
9.9 tread
12.5 sec.
28.2 dia.

If I was going to run d.o.t.s, I would try the 28x12.5 tires on a 9 inch rim first. Try to bring down the sec width enough to hopefully get as close to a 28x10.5 drag slick as possiable, because I know for a fact the 28x10.5 drag slick fits on a 8 inch rim on my car!
Good luck and hope this helps.
