Just curious, because if they are, I'll only need to get one more for the slicks.

Yeah, I figure why buy two more stockers when I'm halfway there with the spare. If I have a flat, I can still get home on the ET Street. Might look funny, but it will work.

I wouldn't put them on a spare type rim. They are to narrow. The alluminum stockers are to narrow, but are workable. The stock steel wheels are just flat out to narrow.

your not going to be able to fit a slick on there thats even worth a ****. i fit a 10.5 on the spare and all it did was make the tire round so there was no tire on the track. best bet is to get some 16x10 cheapos. Im fitting a 28x12.5 on mine, thats alot of tire

Damn, guys, just burst my bubble. I really don't want to shell out the cash for some wider wheels. I have seen several trucks on here launching pretty good on stockers. Can it be done? If not, I need to know who makes some "cheap, cheap" wheels to put some ET Streets on. Need these suckers quick!

I would rather burst your bubble than something worse. If the slicks were on that tire it would be badly unstable and 'slick'.
