Default Will the M/T ET Street radials fit?

..on our stock 17x8" bullitt style rim? I would like to get 275/40's and the recommended wheel width according to M/T is 9-11". I thought I heard of people here running those on our 8" stockers.My stockers are sitting in my shed doing nothing so i'd like to use them.Anyone using these? Thanks.

hey Rob,

the ET Streets do fit on the 17 x 8s in the 26X11.50-17LT size I know a few guys using them on the stockers

these:



if you mean... these... P275/40R17
which I think you do .... if its track only use I think you'll be fine... but you'll get a bulge in the sidewall

Hey Give Brenspeed a call they can answer that question for sure. I believe the answer is yes because they do run the ET streets on stock bullitt rims...... I'm just not sure the width of the tires. 574-594-9559 or visit their site, theyre also alll over this one

I ran those last year on my stockers. The rims are a little narrow for the rims but they did perform great on the track. I ran them at about 12-15psi at the track. Since the rims are a little narrow for the tire, they have a tendency to wear in the middle, that's why I ran them at a little lower pressure than normal, for even wear and a better contact patch. I have purchased some 17x9's for this coming race season and will probably run them at about 18psi.

I run the 275/40/17 Goodyear Eagle SS's on the stock 8" wheel with no problems. I do not drive on them to the track tho.
