anyone know what the largest size ET street i can fit on a pair of 16x8 twisty stock firebird rims is? either the slick ones (with the little pin holes that make them DOT legal) or the drag radials.. i know they make the drag radial in 255/50 16 but what about the slick lookin ones?

 

the LARGEST you can go without modifying the tirewell, is like a 28" tall tire (usually they are actually 27") i run a 27x10.5x15 on a 15x8 rim.

the pin holed ones are ET Drags, then lined ones are the ET Streets.

or are you talking about width?

 

well i was talking height and width.. i dont really mind banging my fender wells in a little if i have to.. i just want traction

 

what rear gear do you have?

 

3.42

 

Really? You don't mind doing a little fabrication and rigging up your car to make something work that shouldn't be there, I'm shocked.

 

well, with those gears, id say your best bet is the 255/50/16 you talked about earlier. dont have to worry about being pulled over due to em, you'll still hook very good, and they are cheaper, and the gear you have with a 27 or 28" tall tire would be similar to that 255/50/16, with a 3.08 rear gear.

oh, and id feel safer going through any sort of water with their street radial...

 

lol half the shit on my car is rigged and isnt supposed to be ther... e.g. my exhaust

 

I know, the sarcasm was thick.

I'd rock a 255/50/16 drag radial, comp ta's or m/t's... personally if your spending the money I'd go for the et's, they wear a little faster than the comp t/a's though.

 

yeah im goin with the et's... i dont really care about wear because i have an extra pair of twisty faggot rims to put them on.. looks like a trip to A&E is in order... unless anyone has some for sale??
