Should work. Recommended width is 9 inches. FWIW, recommended width for my ET Streets is 10-inch rim, but it says right on the sticker (new tires) that an 8-inch rim is minimum. So I would think dropping 1-inch would be no problem. Unless you're talking about daily driving of course (street tires).

They fit but i dont like the way the tread wears with et streets on 16x8 wheels. I got 10.5 and they are much flatter across the tread.

Ideally the 26x10.5x16 ET Streets should be used with 16x8 rims.

The 11.5's are a bit big and tall. They can work fine.

I ran 26x11.5x16 ET Streets on 16x9 Weld XP's, see the front shot of my car on my page.
