Will these fit?? (slicks and drag radials for sale)
16x9 Draglite XP's...

-with lugs
-$220 each new from Summit
-11.5x26x16 ET Streets very new
16x8 Draglite XP's...
-5.5 backspacing
-with lugs
-I paid $365 for both barely used
-16" Nitto's new are mounted...
$450 for the 16x8's with Nitto DR's, the Nitto's are brand new.
$550 for the 16x9's with ET Streets, the tires are also brand new.
I want one of these to get some traction back, but want to make sure it will fit on my '82Z...the guy that owns them now has a '98 Formula

The 16x8's would fit but I don't know anything about the tires. The 16x9's have too much backspace. You could get them to fit with a lot hammering on the inner fenders.
The 4th gen cars have a wider axle and get away with more backspace. I'm not sure what the limit is on a 4th gen though.
5.5 backspace is the max on a 3rd gen without doing some sort of modifications to the fenders.
