What tire width will fit??

What's the widest tires can i put on my car?? I'm running now M/T ET Streets 26x11.5x16. I saw a few brand make 28x14.5x16, 30x12.5x16 and 28x12.5x16 slicks. Will a 14.5 wide slick fit?? What tires are you drag people running on 16" wheels??

I am running 28x12.5x15 ET Streets. They fit with minor wheel liner trimming.If you go 29" or taller, you would have to pull out the wheel liner, and do some "clearancing".

I runn 335's on all 4, but they do stick out a little.

I find it amazing your tires don't scrub on a turn.

And how well does those ET Streets hook?? You're running 1.4x 60'...right??

My sealevel corrected 60's would be in the 1.4's. My best actual is a 1.51 on a marginal track. I think ET Streets will give you all the bite you need.
