slicks on 16" wheel
after checking out blackgmc's older post about the mb wheels 16x8.5 that fits the trucks i think i might go with a 16" wheel. i want to run hoosiers because all the guys that i know who run good at the track are on them. i at first wanted something i could drive on the street but i do have an aluminum jack and the wheels would either have to be changed at my house or the track anyway so i figured save the tires and just go for some 28x10x16 hoosier slicks.
any of you guys see any disadvantages of using the mb wheels 72 on these slicks? i want to get something that i dont have to worry about not hooking with because ultimately i wanna spray out of the hole on top of the blower. looking to order up tonight so i can have them by the weekend to get back down there for last weekend of the season!!

I'd prefer to have the 10" wheel but there nothing off the shelf that didnt stick out. The wheels are 220 shipped for the pair and I'm trying to hit the last weekend at the track before they close. I know a couple guys at the track on dr but I'm afraid I'm not going to dead hook on them. I'm sure that lightning has got some suspension work no?

My buddy might be there on Saturday with me in his '87 C10 longbed (383 and I believe a D1SC). It'd be cool to see you guys line up, two similar colored lowered blown RCLBs.
