Default 26x11.50x17 MT ET street on 17x11 anyone??

Anyone running 26x11.50x17 ET streets on a 17x11? I've looked and looked and haven't found jack... On MT's website it says the spec wheel width is 11"... Any info or pics would be great!

I am actually running them on my 2002 TA and they fit perfect on the stock Ws6 wheels. They dead hook after a good burnout and seem to have a lot of life left in them after 10+ burn outs.

I went with the 17" because I wanted a bias ply tire, and was too cheap to buy new 15" wheels in order to run a 15" bias ply.

Yeah I've ran this tire before on the same wheel you have there, but I was wondering about how they would work on a 17x11 since they seem to fit a 9" wheel perfect. Even though MT states the spec wheel is a 11" wheel...

I hear yah. The tires look pretty narrow mounted on my stock wheels so they very well could fit the 11" wheel. But for some reason, it just seems pretty wide for the tires...

I think 17x11 would be pretty stretched out. 17x10 would be much better.
