Default ET Streets fitment

Is it possible to fit a 26x11.5x15 ET street on a 15x8.5 convo?

That's the smallest wheel that you should use on that tire. I see guys stuffing them on smaller wheels, but they shouldn't be doing that. Actually, a larger wheel will give better results and performance with your tires but what you have currrently will work.

The tire will stick out a bit since the backspace of your wheel is not correct for a typical F-body rear-end. Our Bogarts are the only drag wheel from majory manufactures that has a large enough backspace if a customer wanted to go with a smaller wheel like you have. I rarely (can count litterally less then 5 folks ever who have demanded a smaller wheel for an F-body setup).

Good luck:-)

Yup, I've used that on my 2001 Camaro SS ... although a better fit would be the 26x10.5x15, if you did not already have the 11.5s.

You're welcome Chad. I agree with George on his recommended size.

Thanks again guys.

George, I already bought a used set with about 1/2 tread left (got a decent deal on them). After I go thru those, I'll get 10.5's next.
