    I wasn't kidding... I mooched them from PMachy.

    They aren't that heavy once the tires are dismounted. I have boxes for them, can't be that much just for 300 miles or so.

    I went looking at the online sources, and they want about $50 each for them. I was thinking they could get to you for maybe $30 if we didn't do anything super quick or fancy.

    You ran the 26 x 11.5 x 16 Et Streets with no rub issues on the IRS bolts?

    Yup. To be honest, I had shaved my IRS bolt, but that was to fit 315 BFG DR's on 10.5 wheels.

    Running the ET Streets was never an issue regardless, because of the narrow rim. It also seems the bias-ply tires run a bit smaller than advertised.

    For example, Tetge went out and got a pair of AFS 10.5 wide replica 17" wheels to mount some 11" wide ET Streets on, and the tires were waaay too narrow. Went back and mounted them on the factory 9"s and they were just about right. But, an 8" gives it just enough sidewall bubble and seems to put the whole contact patch on the ground evenly when aired down.
