Bringin this thread back.
This may seem like a dumb question, but for a 26x10.5x16, i would use a 16x10.5 wheel correct?
I guess my main question is, do you match the tire width with the rim width?

Not necessary.
Drag slicks/radials don't care as much as tires you are going to corner on when it comes to wheel width.
They have a soft sidewall and you will be running low psi so from a dig you will have about the same contact patch on a 7" wide wheel as a 10.5" wheel.
Ideally, you want a relaxed straight sidewall (no tension) for best sidewall flexibility on a drag tire, so I would avoid pinching or stretching the tire too much.
This is for a 15" or 16" tire in the 26" tall category. If you do some of those low profile 18" drag radials (don't) the tire would be more sensitive to wheel width.
Mickey Thompson ET street 26x10.5-16 shows a measured wheel width of 9" nominal size.
Like any tire try to match the tread width to the nominal wheel width. That size MT ET Street shows 8.4" tread width
------
I ran that size on 16x8 +30 on my FC and needed to roll the fenders a bit.
Would be perfect for a +40 offset wheel (FD wheel with 10mm spacer?).
You might find you have to air them way down below the recommended (20psi?) as the FC is a light car.
I ran mine at 12psi and they worked better off the line- though it becomes a balancing act on sapping power on the top end and how wobbly the car drives.

F**K THE SYSTEM!!
Un motor s5 preparado bien con turbo gt35 hara 350hp con 15psi. Mas.o menos
Lo mas deficil es ponerle una computadora (microtech,motec,aem,power fc,haltech) y ponerle.su settings correcto para el motor y gasolina y tiempo ignicion. Despues nesecitas injectores y pumpa gasolina enormes. Primeros injectores por lo meno 720cc-1000cc injectores segundos por lo meno 1200cc-2000cc.

O mais deficil é colocar um computador ( MicroTech , motec , a AEM , o FC poder, Haltech ) e ponerle.su configurações corretas para o tempo do motor e combustível e ignição.
