Default ET Streets
I'm looking at getting a set of ET Streets for the track and want to know if they would fit ok on a set of 17x8.5" rims?

Thanks

Just spoke with a tech rep @ MT yesterday with the same question. I'm looking @ their new P275/40R17 (P/N 3743R) for the same size rims. MT recommended size is 9 - 11" wide but he said 8.5" would work OKAY.
I think I'm going to try this.
Has anyone really tried this?

A freind of mine has been running those on his FRC, he loves them. They work well on some factory front wheels.

Just used them today on 98 17" front wheels, no problems, they do fit, and don't bow out really bad or anything. Once I get get some 17" front zo6 wheels (little wider) I'll use them on those, but only for cosmetics to match what already on front of the car.

11 is too wide, I think 8.5-9.5 rims are best for these.
