Yes you can. The E/T streets are awesome

I would say E/T streets should be all you need. I think Ari uses them and he runs 9's Most full slicks need tubes and bead lockers so you can let air pressure out and the tire doesn't slip on the rim. When I run my E/T streets, I don't even air them down, 25-30 psi, no traction issues at all.

The 10.5 fit my car good. No traction issues at all.
Just a side note, my friend put down 840 rwhp in his Supra. He uses 26x11.5x16 on FD wheels and his car launches like a bad *** *****. I haven't tried the 11.5's on my car but I'm sure they would fit.
