What size slicks can I fit on the stock 16x6 rim?

[TSi92]

So far the ET streets that seems to be the smallest 16 inch slicks measure 26x10.5. With my 18's my diameter is 24". So I dunno if an overall diameter of 26" will fit my wheelwell without rubbing. Anyone knows what type of slicks I can fit on the stock rim? Also it is recommended that I have a 9 inch wide rim to fit those 10.5's. grrrr I need slicks, I have a feeling the green dots ain't gonna cut it.

you're going to have to go with a 15" wheel if you want to put a smallish slick on your car. the m/t 22.0 x 8.0 fits nicely on a 6" wide 15" wheel.

I was thinking about getting me a set of base model 14 inch steelies. How wide are those? I hope they are no narrower than the already narrow 16's.

try your local junk yards, you can usually pick up a nice pair of 15" wheels for about 40 bucks. take a tape measure with you.

I bought 2 15" maxima rims for $25 at the junkyrd. They are pretty damn lite too. I used them for my drag radials. Best deal for rims though.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna go with the green dots first and see how they work (they're pretty cheap anyways).
