Default What size ET Street = 275/35/18 tire.

I'll be getting some ET Streets for a 16" stock z28 wheel (track only). I dont want the car to look raked or slammed from the rear with the 275/35/18s ZO6 9.5s in the front. What is the closest size ET Street that would look best with the 275/35/18s in the front.

they don't make et streets that large...theres no sidewall to launch from. Get 17s if your trying to drag race and want a little "bling".

Mickey Thompson has a new Tire coming out that is a 18" but no ET Street.
it is on there site.
I don't know if its a drag tire or not???
I wish they had more ET STREET sizes in 17" and 18". I don't see why They couldn't make an 18" that is just as tall as the ET STREET 17" like a 28"x18 compared to the 26x17 That would have 1" more sidewall than the 17 that they make

From site:

The Sportsman® S/R® is now available for most Pro Street, Hot Rods, Street Rods and Classic Muscle Cars!

Sportsman S/R

The Sportsman® S/R® tire line has expanded with two new sizes 28X10.00R15 (Part #6640) and 28X10.00R18 (Part#6670).

Stock Tire - 275/35R18 This is the sizes of this tire in general. different tire co could vary a little.
Section Width: 10.82 in 275 mm

Overall Diameter: 25.57 in 649.47 mm

Sidewall Height: 3.78 in 96.012 mm

Radius: 12.78 in 324.61 mm

I run that diameter fronts with 26x11.5x16 ET Streets on Camaro salad shooters. Keep in mind, you are going to get a little wobbly on the top end with those 18" tires on the front.
