I know of one running a 28 but thats damn tall unless you are making gobs of power I cant see why you would want this.

ET streets will cut 1.3 on a irs FD if set up right.

the 26x11.5 ET streets will mount on FD rims with just a bit of bulging, and fit the FC body no problem with spacers.

11.5" on a FC? You are kidding right?

People do it all the time. The 11.5" ET street only has a 9.7" tread width.
I've ran 11.5" ET streets on FD wheels for awhile.

You just gotta get real creative with a baseball bat

Yeah, the 11.5 ET Streets are not actually 11.5" in width, they don't size them like they do the ET drags, which I never got. But they do fit fine in stock fenders with a bit of love!

OK...was wondering because I have had 8.5" tires rub when I launch.
I am putting 70mm rear fenders on pretty soon. I think I can get actual 10.5" width rubber under there then.
Right now, I'm running 8" width ET Streets and they just spin.
Gotta get the 60' down to at least 1.5!

You don't necessarily need overfenders if you don't want, this is the 26 x 11.5 ET Street in the rear with just a quicky baseball bat roll. 25mm spacers on FD wheels.

For my street duty I have 275/40R17's on 10" wheels with +18 offset that fit without rubbing, and are over 10" in tread width.
