i have serious traction issues. i can pull consistant low 1.7's with a few high 1.6's but that is going easy out of the hole. i think with traction i could pull a 1.55 or better.

OBS wheels are the same lug pattern as NBS, but they will not fit on a NBS truck. I had a friend buy some OBS Denali wheels for his NBS Suburban, but they wouldn't fit. I've seen OBS's with NBS wheels, so I'm guessing that the center bore of the wheels are different (the OBS being the smaller of the two.)

Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to go with a set of the eagles that look like my timeless 6s. I haven't checked, but I'm sure they make a 16x9. That would most likely be a cheaper route than going with the Boyds, and maybe it wouldn't draw too much attention to the fact that I was running street slicks.

Would it help to relocated the brake lines?

I can't quite picture where it would be rubbing, but with my stainless lines here, I could route them just about any way I wanted. On top, underneat, or 'inside' the upper A-arm.
