Im getting myself a set of American Racing Baja 16x10's. Whats the best DOT approved tire to run on them? I want to legally be able to run these tires on the street. Thanks

M/T ET Streets or Hoosier Quick Time Pro DOT

Hoosier Sizes
28x11.50-16LT Tread Width 10" Recommended Wheel Width 8-10
28x14.50-16LT Tread Width 12" Rec. Width 10-12

Mt E/T Streets Sizes
28x 12.50-16LT Tread width 10.0
26 x 11.50-16LT tread Width 9.7

Both are recommended for 10" wheels

There's also a 26" QTP but the tread width is only 8"

Now for the disclaimer's:

Did you guys have to shave down the calipers or modify to fit the 16's or should they be no problem?

 

16s, No Problem.
Its the 15s you have to modify.
