what size tire to run with fenderwell headers?

i have a 72 demon with a big block and hooker super comp fenderwell headers 2 inch primary. i am running a 26 inch tall tire now and have to have my front end raised way up so they don't rub. it looks stupid that way. i was thinking of going to a 24 inch tire so the front can sit lower. any opinions on tire size to use would be appreciated. the tires are skinny drag tires.
