I just picked up a set of M/T ET Streets 26x10.5-16 & Ill need to grab some wheels for them to fit my 2011 Coyote 5.0 with standard brakes. The wheels can be 16x7 or 16x8 since ET Streets are actually advertised width is the widest spot on the tire, so they're actually 26x8.5-16's
Joe suggested the 2005+ v6 wheels, what other wheels can i use? What offset?
Thanks,
Brandon

No one?
The wheels above are 16x7" backspacing around 5" to 5.5" depending on where I've looked. Would this fit from & back?

Use 99-04 stocks. Someone on here runs 01 cobra wheels with m/t's on their yote but those are 17's

V6 wheels I'm guessing? Those are plentiful. Do they have the right backspacing?

It's "Robby92coupe" who's running that on his '14 coyote.

You could buy some steel wheels from summit for cheap. Probably even lighter then some stock cast aluminum wheels.

Anyone know what type of offset or backspacing I need in a 16x7 or 16x8 wheel for the coyote? That would make finding a wheel easier

Looks like the 99-04 16's have a very similar offset to the 05+ 16's, now I just gotta find some for a good price. I'm guessing the 16's wont fit up front on the coyote?

Picked up these wheels from LETHL 03 today, the wheels fit the 2011 rear, but maybe have a 1/4" clearance between the spokes & the caliper. I mounted M/T ET Streets 26x10.5-16 on the wheels, I'll test fit them likely tomorrow.

I've seen pepole use the 15" v6 wheels so I'm in for your results I know that with the 15" wheel some grinding was needed to fit

1/4" is enough lol. I like how these look with slicks

Ya, the15's I have for my Fox 5.0 run into the calipers long before you can even think of mounting them. I didn't want to modify anything, & I got a sweet deal on the slicks and wheels($165 total investment for wheels tires & mounting/balancing & I have some GM 16x8 wheels to sell to recoup some of that), so I'm happy so far.

I hope the rims don't flex enough to need more spacing. I'm not a fan of these wheels, but if they get the job done then they serve their purpose, & I'm happy.
