im getting a deal on some MT ET streets, my friend has decided to bracket race his nova and is going to full slicks now. These are 26x10.5x15. The problem is that i dont have any 15" wheels at the moment and the catalog says they need 8.5" wide wheels. what wheel is everyone running with these or similar tires. im on a tight budget, so i was thinking i could use a pair of 15" buick rallyes, or chevy ralleys with buick caps. but now i dont think theyll be wide enough. any suggestions.
E T streets Hi , just read your post on the steet slicks, I also run 26x10.50 et streets on a 7 inch factory rim . I run them all the time, street and strip, the tires look fine,dont stickout too far, and most importantly,dont attract attention to themselves, the treadwidth of those tires is only 9 inches I think and ive always heard that the tread and rim width should be within 1.and 1.5 inches. I drive on the street with 26-30lbs and drop to around 16-12 depending on how its hooking up . I also got caught in a slight drizzle one night ,HIGHLY NOT RECOMENDED!!!!! GOOD LUCK...
Those factory rims will be fine, I run a Hoosier QTP 26x9.5-14 on a pair of 14x6 steel rims, no problems at all.
