This is the last godd@mn ? about slicks, i promise!

i ordered the M/T ET Streets 26x11.5x16

should i have gotten the 26x10.5x16? they will be ordering the tires tomorrow, i still have time to change. if i need to.

i was going to get the AR Baja wheels in 16x10

is this the best set up, or should i change?

thanx for the help...chris

with 10" rims yes I would say that's the right combo

I would sugest the other tires for anyone going with a 7 or 8" rim

If I remeber right he still has the 3:55 gears, so shouldn't be any worse than a 2001 and up lightning on the top end.

that is correct sir. when i get the 3:73 gears ill move up to some hoosier 28x11.5x16 on some nice bogarts or something. for now, this and the other goodies that i got, should put me deep into the 12's.
