Default Et street sizing

Im getting mixed signals here, would the 10.5 or 11.5 be best for the stock 16x8 rims. Ill be going with them in a 26" tall tire.

10.5 would probally be the best bet, but i do know people running 11.5's on the 16x8 wheel

10.5 will fit better but some will run an 11.5
10.5 should give you more than enough traction though

Quick bump, I have the tires sitting here and Im wondering if I need to put tubes in them. I know some do, some dont.

I wont be driving them on the street at all, just the track. Ill be getting regular tubes and not the MT tubes since theyre 100 bucks for 2.

Thanks.

I run the 11.5's on my stock rims with no tubes & never had a problem. I've done it that way now on my last two cars, a 94 Z28 & my 99 Z28. Both cars were cutting low 1.6 60' times as well with 14 psi in the tires. I wouldn't worry about tubes, but hey that's just me.-Fred
