Drag Slicks, correct fitting size
Okay My car has 16 x 7 inch rims, tyres on there now 205/45/R16
They look like this with at least a fist and a half space inside the inner wheel section of the car



Team Dynamic, Pro Race 1.2 16 x 7 et 38
The car they will be going onto
Nissan Sunny Gti N14



Reason I still have 16's is because of my big brakes that can only fit under 16's


I have made enquiries about some M/T street et's



Spec below.




Dear Mickey Thompson Tires

I am after buying a set of ET Street Radials x 2, just for the two front wheels
90000000996- Material #
3793R- Part #
P255/50R16- Size
26x10.50R16- Size Equivalent
29- Appx. Weight
R2- Compound
7.0-9.0- Approved Rims
8- Measuring Rim
10.5- Section Width
9.6- Tread Width
26.1- Overall Diameter
82- Cir



I would like to know if these would fit on my wheels or the actual car, is there enough space to go in the arches?





So if I play around with ride height, suspension settings, will they fit?

Andrew,



Thank you for contacting us as well as your interest in our products, regarding your question the ET Street Radial Part# 3793R approved rim with is 7"-9" so yes it will fit your wheel..........


But will it fit under the arch?

I used to run 13" rims with Hoosier slicks and they are very very big

Also, they may hit the inside frame too when under load unless you run some big spacers too



So my main question is, has anyone run this size on a Sentra as I believe the arch space is the same.
