Default what kind of problems will i face with 26x11.5x17 et streets.

my car is lowered with sportlines and im thinking of putting on some 26x11.5x17 et streets on a pair of 17x11 zr1's. Only one of my fenders is rolled(the other fender got painted and i cant roll it at this time). are these ET streets equivalent to a 325 tire? i just had 17x11 zr1's with a 315 goodyear and it would rub the tire on big bumps and sharp turns(on the side that isnt rolled). but i know if i take it slower, I could probably make it to where it didnt rub at all. Do you think i'll have problems with these et streets.

I know a guy that put those on 11's and they looked way too skinny for an 11" wheel. I went with Nitto 555R in the 315 so I wouldn't have to roll the lips

I hear ya on what MT's site says but............they know its wrong, haven't changed it.
I have run way to many tire/wheel combos to believe it..........
Here are the real specs................homework always pays off.
Sucks when the actual manufacturer's site is wromg............

So it say 10.50" rim max. i Dont see why .50 (1/2") would be that much extra to couse a danger. A 1/2" is only a 1/4" on each side wall . But mickey Tompson told me that they were coming out with a 315/35/17 ET Street this summer.

Yeah, the MT ET Street Radial is due out 'Early 3rd quarter' of this year...hopefully only one more month!
