26" tires would be fun with this new gear. My street tires are 29.99" tall...the stock wheels/tires are at the shop and measure 27 3/8" tall, been thinking about throwing those on there.

What width are the stockers? Do they seem to fit well,...tubes? Very interested. I have a set of stockers and would love to mount your tires on them. If you can expand on this I would appreciate it!

All I need is sticky tires and I think I can be in the 1.5XX 60fts. The Dunlop all seasons aren't cutting it anymore

I just bought 6 of those wheels(stock 16" Aluminum) and I want to put the MT et streets 28x11.5x16 on two of them for the track.

Where is the best(cheapest) place to get MT tires?

to widen a set of stock 16" wheels I would have to sacrafice 2 of the 4 that I have towards widening the other 2 right? I wouldn't mind having the fronts be narrower just for the hell of it but not a total necessity.

You can order Bogart wheels. Kinda pricey, but there is no other wheel that compares. Check out my post for some pics. "Bogart D-10s on the Truck"

I believe they are 7" wide. No tubes.

These pictures are a little big, but they show a little better what the tire looks like mounted on the rim....

You won't have to sacrifice 2 of the wheels...you can just have your stockers widened/narrowed if you wanted, although I've never seen annyone do that. I really don't know that the gain would be worth the trouble to be honest with you.
