I want to pick up 2 factory 16" mustang wheels to toss some 11.5 or 10.5 ET streets on. What wheels should I look for? What width should be the minimum for both the 10.5's and 11.5's? Any help would be appreciated :beer:

maybe some 6 cylinder wheels?
Do you know how wide they are? Will a 10.5 or 11.5 ET street fit?
I think you should use at least a 9" wheel for a 10.5 drag tire. I don't think there are any factory Mustang wheels wider than 8". That's why you don't see people using them.
I'm using a "waffle" star off of a mid 90's GT. Picked them up for about $25 per wheel. Put a want add in the classified adds on all the sites you'll get many hits.
Here's a pic of the waffle and 11.5 et street.

i have the same exact setup. they are 95 pony rims on 10.5 " et streets. there not the prettiest rim to have on the car but there cheap and they work.
On M/T's site it states, "Acceptable practice for rim width is tread width plus or minus 1 inch."
The 10.50 M/T tire has a tread width of 8.4 so an 8 inch factory Ford rim works fine and there are many to choose from. I purchased some Cobra 16x8 replicas for $139 for a close to stock look to use with my 10.5 E/T Streets.
The 16 x 11.50 E/T Streets have a tread width of 9.7 and so a 16 x 10 rim would be best.

This is exactly the info I was looking for, thanks a lot fellas :beer:
Check on E-bay there are quite a few sets on there, but be warned alot of pepole know what you want them for and want a lot for them. Get a buddy to go in halvsees with you and you could get them cheaper if you get the whole set.
Guy in the market has a set with ET streets on them already. Here's a link.
