26x9.5-15`s narrower than 245/50-16`s?? Would a 26x9.5-15 Hoosier QTP mounted on a 7.5" rim actually be narrower than a 245/50-16 GS-C mounted on a stock 16x8" rim?? I`m going to pick up a set of 15x7.5" Convo Pro`s and the above stated Hoosiers for track use this week. But I`m a little worried that if the front stock rims and tires end up being wider than the rears it might increase the chance of the back end getting "washy" on the big end of the track. I just have a few bolt-ons and a `verter so it`s not like I`m going to have a big MPH or anything What do you guys think?? Am I worried for nothing? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

Re: 26x9.5-15`s narrower than 245/50-16`s?? I don't know that you'd have any handling problems or not, but the tire you mentioned only has 8" tread-width. That's a pretty small tire...
