anyone with 26" tires?

thinking about going down from my 27" tires to a 26" tall tire. the reason being is that i cant find any other drag radials in a 17 that are 27" or 28" tall.

i want to run the mickey thompson et street radials on the rear in a 275/40/17 and was thinking about 245/45/17 in the front.

currently running 255/50/17's all around, and like the tire height, but want the sticky tires in the back

also, i will be lowering the truck more. going to a full 5" in the front (3" spindles/2" springs) so i think the shorter tires up front will help it not rub so much when it goes lower.


any opinions?

Re: anyone with 26" tires?

I bought a set of 245/60-15s for my car an year ago, which are 26" diameter, had them on the truck for two weeks before I get the fatties I have now, looked pretty badass with them. In yer case wide rear tires and overall low truck will look even sicker.

ET Streets aren't that great of a tire for anything....But, the drag radials are awesome! 17" has no choices....
