If these were to be mounted on a 8" rim what would be the difference in the contact patches? Wouldn't I lose a lot of the 10.5 tire because the wheel is so small? Thanks!

TTT Anyone know???

 

I don't think a 30x10.5 would work that great on a 15x8 rim and it might be hard to mount too?

 

I wouldn't put a 10.5" tire on an 8" wheel... The 30x9" tire would work better.

 

dont MOST people run the std 26x10.50 et street/drag on 15x8 wheels? i know you dont get a full 10" contact patch at all but isnt it the most common?

fwiw, i run 28x9 on a 8" wide and think it is a great combo.

 

Thanks for the info.

The "10.5" designation on an ET Street is the section (or sidewall) width, while on a true slick, it's the tread width.

Here's a pic of a 29.5x10.5 slick mounted on a 10" wheel...
