Default Widest slick on a stock 2002 wheel

What size is the widest I can run on my stock 16" wheel?

I'm thinking a 10.5. Are they worth is, or do I need wider? I obliterate these 20's, so I need something...

Thanks!

I am wondering the same thing. Is it possible to run the 26.5X11.5 on our stock 16" rim?

i don't know if 11.5 will fit but i know that 10.5 will fit.
if someone has similar mods like you and has 10.5 that hook, i say go with them b/c they are probably lighter than the 11.5.
i plan on running some 26x10.5 when i return

Are you talking about the stock aluminum wheel or steel wheel? The aluminum wheels are .5" wider if I remember correctly.

I would try to go w/ a 10.5 at the most.

I have seen guys with the 11.5. The wieght won't be an issue, propbably less than 1# between the two. ETstreets are feather light.
