Default What size et street???

I am getting et streets for some stock 16x8 firebird chromie's; and was wondering what size most people run on these wheels? The 26*11.5 16 or the 26*10.5 16?

My concern is that the wider tire wont fit properly on the 8" rim. There tires will be mounted without tubes or screws, and will see some street miles.

Need to purchace by today, thanks in advance.

ps, is there a better tire for limited street use, and mostly track use? if so what type and size? I hear the et streets last a bit longet than the QTP's.

Either size will work well. I always ran the 26x11.5's on stock wheels with good results. The 26x11.5" tire only has a little more than 9.5" of tread width, so it will work fine on an 8" wide wheel...
