So, you are looking for more roll-out on your dragster front wheels, ala head start on the start line ?
I've made a few 21" wheels with 27.5" tall tires for some full tree Comp racers, you just may have to change your chassis, because your chassis will be 2.75" higher, over the usual 17" wheels.

looks like the chain guard was left off to reduce weight?
