Default 15x7.5 Convos ?

is it possible to run 15x7.5 convos with MT ET STREETS 26 x 11.5-15. I want to get convos because a lot of people i know have welds. Want something different. But i still want to run 11.5 ET Streets. Are Convos lighter than welds Pro lights too? Thanks for the help guys.

I don't really like the sound of that combo.

As a comparison, I am running the same tire, 26x11.5x15 ET Street, on a 15x10" Pro Star. They fit perfect.

I'd run a 26x11.5x15 on a 15x8 but it would be tall and would probably cup a bit. It would be worse on a narrower rim.

Perhaps look at www.mickeythompsontires.com as a reference.

I agree with PSJ. You may get the 26x11.5x15 to fit, but doubt it would run right.

I run the Convo Pro 15x10 with ET 26x11.5x15 and they fit great. Only 1 problem with Convo Pro's is their back spacing. 5" just isn't deep enough.

Now 26x10.5x15 should fit OK for ya.
