So, I think that I've got thing about 90% daily commuter ready.    255/60/15's on the front, 275/60/15's on the rear. The carb seems a little lean still, I'll fudge with that later. My favorite feature has to be the 40 gallon fuel cell I put in the trunk. |

No theme, this thing is the real deal. I'll be putting all the spare parts from my race car into this thing. Super cheap. |

4' backspacing, front and rear. And I lied, they are Aero 52's. They're not DOT legal, but they weigh a few pounds less. |

So What's Not DOT legal about them? usually racing stuff is stronger and better engineered then dot stuff.. Well There are exceptions like Slicks dont do well in rain. Greg |

I dunno. They came with a warning letter that they were not DOT legal or for street use. |

On race steel wheels the rim is thinner. They will bend if the tire goes to pieces and the wheel hits the pavement. |

I don't think 10's would fit I had to roll and flare the fenders a bit just for these. Also, the wait for 10's is ridiculous, after waiting a month, I just went to 8's. looks like that worked out in the end. And the Fuel call.....From an old truck of mine, of course....
