IMO, these tires have one important place in the aftermarket. Specifically modernizing Pro Street Cars with severely narrowed rearends and big wheel tubs that would be too much work to simply redo everything to accomodate a 10 or 12" wide wheel but if you aren't redoing an old pro street car, I'd save the money and do a normal tire and wheel package. Off the shelf wheels and tires are available in so many widths and diameters short of full pro street size, it's not worth it to go crazy with that kind of width and diameter. Same goes for the scrawny little front runner widths on an 18" wheel that you plan to drive on. Anybody ever experienced understeer? Those will bring a new meaning to it!
I'm not conservative when it comes to wheel diameter but unless you need a 31"+ tire to make an already tubbed car sit right, I'd stick with BFGs and Michelins.
