Default MT ET Streets

Looking at Mickey Thompson ET Streets. In inches, how tall of a MT tire is equivalent to our 245-45-17? Is a 10.5" tire equivalent to a 275? What width wheel should be used w/ a 10.5" tire? Thanks a bunch.

That would be like an 8.7" sidewall.

you can get the et street radials in a 315 35 17 i think and that would fit a 10.5 in rim.

It would be 11.61 overall width. 1" = 25.4mm. 1mm= .03937. 295 x .03937 = 11.61. I'm a machinist, i convert metric to standard and vice versa all day. He prob meant 35, or 40 on the sidewall aspect ratio

I wasn't talking about the width. I was talking about the aspect ratio.
