Default Will 26 x 10.5 x 15 ET Streets fit of '74?

I have the opportunity to buy some 26 x 10.5 ET Streets today and I need to know if they will fit on my '74 with '82 rims. I don't mind moving my E-brake cable, but I need to know if they'll clear everything else.

Thanks,
Jay

I'm running 28x11.5x15 Mickey Thompson ET Streets. The tires fit without a problem. The only thing that caused me headaches was the e-brake bracket, so I just removed it.





They hook up great even without doing a burnout. Once you get a little road heat in the tires they want to bite.

I always thought that you had offset trailing arms.

So THAT's what my car would look like with sidepipes and an unpainted cowl hood. Hmmmmmm. Thanks, Bence.

Jack:
I actually have had some people tell me that they like the look of the unpainted hood on my car. I've even had people tell me I should "flat black" the hood instead of painting it orange. My response was "no thanks it's not a MOPAR :) ." However truth be told I have actually grown kind of attached to the unpainted hood. I have the paint for the hood, I've just never gotten around to painting it (it's been over a year since I first got the hood).

Nothing to do with what you're tlaking about, but you're runnning 12's with the stock 180 HP motor?

(also, think the hood looks good now, but would be better painted IMHO)

Oh, yeah. They're both air-conditioned stock L48s. They run about the same--I'm in the 12.0x neighborhood at about 113 and Bence has about the same ET with a little more mph. We both have The Tornado and a crankcase full of Prolong...

:jester

Seriously, though, Bence has some flavor of big block in his and I have a 406.

And, Bence, when you go decide to get rid of those rallyes you might want to give serious consideration to CenterLine Convo-Pros. They really look sharp on our cars.
