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.

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?
