Going on saturday to see how they hook!!!

What size wheel are you using for that tire and do the tires fit without any modifications?

 

[spanky777will]

it's a 16x10 wheel and no modifications are necessary.

Where did you get the wheel???

Is it really light like the one JDM has?

Also did anyone recommend changing the wheel studs to a stronger one?

Thanks

I like those tires. But how can they be dot approved and say not intended for highway use? I still want a set for my truck. What brand are the wheels? Thanks, L.L.:beer:

its only like that so when they get sued for some dumb ass driving crazy on the street and dies they won't have to pay out. but the cops can't give you tickets for them.

and plus the tires will wear superfast and high speeds and have blowouts

 

[LIGHTNING LARRY]

Yeah, I guess they have to cover their butts. I'll bet they hook up nice for street legal tires. L.L.

the wheel is a brand called Unique. It is made by Crager. I got them off of a guy in West virginis. They are VERY cheap. Got both for 160.00 Shipped to my door. they are a steel rim but are actually lighter than i thought with the tire. I put them ion today to see how they fit and they fit GREAT!!!

 

[LIGHTNING LARRY]

What's the backspacing? Is your truck stock hieght? And do you have any clearence problems? thanks, L.L.

 

[spanky777will]

stock height but plenty of room to spare. 5x135. No clearence problems just that they stick out of the weel well about 2 inches but other than that they are great. i will take pics this weekend of them installed at the track and hopefully make my 12 sec pass

Would you please post some contact info for the guy in West Virginia with the wheels.

Thanks
