Default drag radials or slicks on ten wholes?

anyone done it or think that it would be a good idea, i can get 4 ten whole rims for 50 dollars and would like to use them for slicks. what do you think?

I'd get slicks, 26x8.5 will fit good. A 26x10.5 et street will bubble out a little bit but will fit on a 10 hole rim. I wouldn't waste money on a drag radial if its gonna be a drag only rim.

Your can fit a 26x10 slick on the ten hole if quads are removed.

you don't need to remove the quads at all for 10 hole 26X10.50 applications.....I have a set of et streets on 10 holes and they are 26x10.50's and Zach is right they ballon up a little.....if you get the hoosier 26x 9.50's... I believe they will work without balloning but it's an odd size so a safe bet is the 8.50's

who makes those ten wholes with the glossy black center and the chrome outside of the rim? those things were awesome.
