The tire/wheel info was way too much for this early in the morning but glad it is there to re-read. Thanks.
Well don't stay away so long next time.

This is great info here on wheel and tire sizing.

Dale I was looking back at some older notes of mine and saw my track widths were different than I posted. I recalculated them and it seems my old notes were right with a 58" rear track.

Yea Dave has been staying away

I have so many noob questions, that i'm pretty lost but ill sit back and keep reading. Hopefully ill catch on. looks like i need to change my mind set, I too planned on throwing the biggest freaking tire on the back i could, and make do with what i could up front. I will be quite disappointed on the track if i do that, i see!
Actually I'd say it's more like trying to plug the biggest tire I can on each end. It still makes me laugh calling a 285 a small tire.

I'm kinda partial to the wheels. Light, strong and the correct color.
