Just bought a set of Mickey Thompson 26X11.50X17 ET street radials. Rim specs say 9" to 11" wide. Anyone have any input on which width to use? I was going to go with 9" but looking for feedback.

I would recommend going as wide as possible, in order to make sure you've got all of the tread on the ground. That would mean 17x10 or 17x10.5, which are fairly typical sizes on the market.

That is what I was thinking. Thanks for the feedback. Can't wait for Spring here in the Northeast.

No problem!

Should I use wheels for the 2006 or would I be able to use wheels for a 2004. Spacing would put the wheels a little farther apart for a wider stance. Car is not lowered so fender clearance is not a problem.

Have you upgraded your axles or you running stock? Just curious how strong stocks are.

 

[Hotrodpepere]

running stock axles.

Stock axles can take quite abit of power. Auto. tranz. is also easier on drive train vs. manual tranz.
