correct, i am thinking of getting another set and milling them down at work, make it look more professional, plus i can bead blast them and then powdercoat them.

tires are ET drags MT 28x10.5x15

did you get the stiff sidewall or the wrinkle wall?

these arent going to tuck are they? i believe that theres a bolt on top of the caliper that gets in the way of tucking.

i doubt it, i went off the bogarts flaco had before his last pair. i think i will beable to fix the calipers to where nothing will be in the way, i'll use the ones i grind on for mockup, to the ones i use and mill, just currious what the thickness is this way i know how much i can mill off them, and kinda reshape and design the stock look


by the way i went with the 3055s wich is stiff wall, personally i just bought another set that are 28x9.15 which are a L8 compound, and i tell ya those things hook badazz.. but i just sold them!! to get the slicks i mentioned for the bogarts

im guna let you be the test dummy! if you hook on the stiff side wall im going for it!

did the 28x9 hook for you? what kind of 60' times did you see in comparison to your 28x10-16 hoosiers?

i have a buddy with a s10 on the 28x9-15 with the softer compound and he can hook it off of the trans brake no problem.

Better watch out, you may run into clearance issues with the leaf spring with that setup.

Yeah, I know but I think I can get away with a 6.5" without having to raise my truck too much.
