ET Street Size

Nopantz · Sep 22, 2006

What Size ET Streets do you guys run Im gonna try to run a 15x9 draglite.

25thmustang · Sep 23, 2006

I had 26x10.5s, they worked well!

Nopantz · Sep 23, 2006

what size rim?

bynummustang · Sep 23, 2006

He said 15x9 draglites.

Nopantz · Sep 23, 2006

lol...no i was asking 25thmustang what size rim he had the 26x10.5 on...

sirr0bin · Sep 23, 2006

Most people put 26x10.5x15 et streets on the 10 holes, which are 15x7

for a 15x9, you could put up to a 28x12.5x15, but that depends if you can get it to fit in your wheelwell

mob · Sep 23, 2006

you can fit 26x10.5 on a 15x9, go for it! Do you have the wheels already? Im not sure if weld makes 15x9 draglites. Unless you have the wheels, id get 15x8, 5.5 backspacing, and 26x10.5 tire. I run 26x11.5x15 on my 15x10 pacer draglites, the tire actually measures out to be about 10" on the rim.

yea Mob weld makes a 15x9 draglite with 5.5 backspacing so I figured on getting them instead of trying to fit a 15x10 with 6.5 backspacing which requires some work......will the 26x10.5 look to small on the rim? do u think a 26x11.5 would look better.

below are links to each tire info that summit racing has:
26x10.5

26x11.5
http://store.summitracing.com/partd...793325+4294904715+4294854874+115&autoview=sku

according to the specs it looks like a 26x11.5 would be a better fit for the 9inch rim

what do u guys think?

mob · Sep 23, 2006

10.5 will be perfect imo, youll have a very hard time fitting the 26x11.5 tire in there with that 5.5 backspacing.

Nopantz · Sep 23, 2006

sounds good.....do u run tubes Mob?

25thmustang · Sep 23, 2006

Mine has been on stock rims, and my old Draglites... and its funny Im not sure if they were 15x8 or 15x9 right now... wow Im retarded!

FSTRDNU · Sep 23, 2006

im on a 500 hp stick shift car, pulling 1.4 60 ft's with just droping the clutch at 6k, without a drag suspension, actually, with lowering springs, running 10 holes, al the way around, with a 26x8.5 so why would want to run much more than a 9 inch tire?
especially a 12in?
you will actually Go Slower with a huge ugly tire

FSTRDNU · Sep 23, 2006

im sorry i thought you were talking about slicks,
on my pony's i ran a 10.5 in mt et street, for the streets, i hated them, rubbing on the insides, and the traction was only good, for the 1st 200 miles, then they basicly fell apart, and $400 in rubber was down the drain

25thmustang · Sep 24, 2006

My smaller slicks hook harder than my larger ET Streets did!

tannerc91gt · Jun 22, 2010

Hate to bring up a dead thread, but im about to pull the trigger on a set of 26x11.5x15 slicks and im trying to make sure theyll fit:

1. on a 15x8 draglite

2. on my 91 fox

Fenders have already been beaten in (i ran a 275/40/17 for a while) and the quad shocks are gone

Sorry for the "Will it fit" question, i hate them as much as everyone else

gearheadboy · Jun 22, 2010

I run a 275/50r15 ET Street on a 15x8 draglite with 5.5 rear spacing. No rub on the outside at all and the quarter panel is untouched. The inner however required a little adjusting but not too bad really. No quads.

tannerc91gt · Jun 22, 2010

These tires aren't radials but it should be similar in size. We have identical cars/wheels btw

460 STANG · Jun 23, 2010

Hey, just wanted to throw this out there to you it will save you a lot of money on tires. I was running a ET street drag (255/60/15) at $180 or so per tire, I found this guy Jimmy Smith phone number 770-924-9525, who carries dirt track, drag, asphalt what ever in a McCreary tire. they acually have sizes that you cant get in a ET, MT, etc. The 255/60/15's were only $90 per tire plus shipping and the look good. They have several different tread patterns to chose from. They look like a Mickey Thompson sportsman tire. Have him fax you over a tire sheet and it will give you all the specs on the tires and the different tread patterens. Hope it saves you some $$$$.

tannerc91gt · Jun 23, 2010

Thanks, but im already pretty set on these tires, just need to know if 11.5 will go on an 8" wheel without bulging and still fit in a fox fender

90lxcoupe · Jun 23, 2010

I think they will fit under the car but they are gonna bulge alot, i would run the 10.5 if i were you.
