Be sure to get the right sized rims and you should be OK.

Are you still having trouble hooking up?

The ET streets work best when heated up. Its going to be difficult to get all 4 cleaned off and sticky. I'm sure they will work fine, but a set of Nitto drag radials might give you a bit more traction.

we are in the same boat. i think i am going to get one 15" rim and see if i can get it to fit all the way around. if i can get it to fit then get one of these http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...et_radial.html maybe in the 325/60/15" size and see if it will fit all the way around. if i can get that far then get a whole set of them. 4 of those tires would have to hook i would think but geting the 15" rims to fit is going to be the hard part. they also make bfg DR's in about the same sizes.

another option is a nitto 555r, the only size that isn't really short is the 305/45/18 but with such a short side wall i dont know how well it would hook.

I would bet ... with as many cubes, or boost, you guys are running, you could get them ET Streets heated up nicely running through a water box.

Have you checked out M&H's new street radials? Jeg's has them in some pretty monstrous sizes. Not sure if the'll be anygood for you all wheel drive guys, but I'm going with a set of the 390/40/17's mounted on two widened Escalade wheels.

dang!! thats a big tire. might have to get under there and measue up some stuff to see if there is any way to get those to fit. i think turning would be a major problem with those tires.

To heat up all 4 tires, could you guys run 2 sets of line lock, and heat up the front and rears separate? I'm just pulling this out of my ***, so if it doesn't make sense...

Yeah, I figured there were be some rub issues in the front, but I'm only 2wd and with the right back spacing I'm sure I'll be able to run 'em on the rear. Just wanted you to know there were other "options" as far as tire manufacturers go.
