No clearance issues but they do stick out some. They will gunk up the truck on the burnout a little bit but not too bad. Looks mean with the Cal-Tracs too.
BMDMAX~ I know that you are running 8 lug wheels, but where did you get your rear wheels????

I am planning on running a 28x12.50x16 on 16x10 rims for my next set since I seem to have reached the limit of my current 26x11.50 with my suspension. Only problem I am having is finding an affordable, lightweight rim with the right back spacing. Most all the rims I have found in 16x10 are for offroad applications and have 4.5" backspacing which will stick out too far for my tastes.

Not looks, functionality. With my drop, suspension, 28" tall tire and 4.5" backspace on a 10" rim I will be setting the fenders on the tires on the lauch. Something I would rather not do.

The are Eagle series 058, you can pick them up on ebay or elsewhere for about a hundred bucks each. They are plain polished aluminum but have a good load rating and make great track wheels.

haha, i know they dont fit, but hey the hook really good!
ill get a pic of them next to my truck so you can really see how damn big they are. they came off the 05 matco tools funny car after practice 2 weeks ago. i figured to keep a set instead of throwing them out.


I bet i could fit them under my truck and they would maybe stickout a 1 or 2"s. but i dont think i would need that kind of tire to hook my truck up.
