Rim size for ET Streets

[RR|Suki]

Sooooooo I've been looking at ET Streets, and I was wondering what 16" rim people are using since all the 16" cv rims I can find are 16x7 and MT says they recommend only going +/- 1 away from the actual tread width.
I'm looking at the 28X11.50-16LT and the tread width is 8.7, they recommend an 8" rim, but I was wondering is people are using the 7" rims and doing ok with those?

Mustang v-6 wheels (2000-2003) 16x7 screws and tubes then call it a day.

I have the exact same size MT DR mounted on Cobra R 16x8 replica wheels, but do not use tubes. I would suggest using tubes in 7" wheels. Your're gong to have more side wall flex.

i believe i have a set of 4 of those 16" mustang rims that ive been meaning to sell:lol:

so when you guys run those 26" tall DR's do you change that perameter in the tune?
Also I thought you could only get a 16" DR in 26" tall, if you want taller you had to go to the MT street?
Is ther a difference in the MT street and the MT DR other then the tread?
