problem with 10 holes is they arent as light as draglites, but people seem to run a 26x10.5 on a 7in rim with no problem on those, i just wouldnt recomend daily use, the 8in rim is better for that tire size, however, im about to put a 26x8.5 m/t slick on a 7in rim, just for track use, I hear the 26x10.5 is too much for a car with no heavy mods like mine, the 26x10.5 e.t. streets did rub my quad shocks, but not really that bad, it just rubbed a little paint off the shock then fixed itself, this using a 15x8 weld,

now my sportsman pros rub alot, and im thinking of losing the quads now. btw, my old e.t. streets were driven 100 mile round trip to work everyday for a while, like mentioned before, in the rain, try to keep your car parked, or just put on some radials.
basically i wanted to be one of those mustangs everyone sees launching at the track making that scratching sound, ahhhh, that was just me showing off, and abusing my clutch I like the sound they make on a sticky track though, the "i mean buissness sound" ....good luck
