26x8.5-14 (Page 1/2) 853800 MAY 05, 04:08 PM Hey guys, I'm looking at these tires https://www.jegs.com/i/Mick...on/672/3020/10002/-1 for my l67 swapped GT. I've got 16" wheels with street tires, but I'm looking for something to run at the track while still looking somewhat stock. I didn't want to go with a full slick per say, but it's hard to find a decent street tire that will fit that rim. Has anyone run this combo before? Is it overkill? I've had a few drag cars in the past, this is my first swapped fiero though so I'm not exactly sure how much tire I'll need.

Your title is talking about a 8.5 wide, 14" wheel then you mention a 16 inch wheel with street tires so I guess I don't know what you are asking for. olejoedad MAY 05, 07:09 PM Sidewall height on the MT would definitely help off of the line, compared to a 60 series tire, and help minimize the shock loading on the drivetrain. 853800 MAY 06, 11:30 AM quote Originally posted by IMSA GT: Then you completely lost me on this thread.

Oops, I ended up having to type the post twice due to an issue with my password. When I typed it that second time I left out the part about how I have two sets of rims. The 16" have rims have new-ish street tires. I also have a set of 14x6 wheels that have junk tires on them now. I'm thinking of mounting slicks on two of those 14x6 rims so I can easily swap wheels for the track. 853800 MAY 06, 02:32 PM Just realized the ones I linked above require a tube, which adds quite a bit of cost. Now I think I am leaning towards this tire, just not sure if it's too wide to fit the car. Waht do you guys think? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mnh-mss002 olejoedad MAY 06, 07:34 PM Good choice. Better fit on the wheel, still plenty of width, and high wrinkle sidewall design. 853800 MAY 07, 12:46 PM quote Originally posted by olejoedad: Good choice.

I have factory suspension in the rear, if needed I may go coil overs, but I'd rather not for the time being olejoedad MAY 07, 01:04 PM You will have plenty of clearance.
