which slicks???

guys im gettin ready to slap some rubber on my bogarts.. im going to go with a 30"x10 slick. im using a a 16x10 rim. which slicks do you guys recommend? i hear M/H but its listed as a 14" slick, im worried about fittment issues do to my truck being lowered. i was looking into Hoosier slicks but i havent seen anything 30x10x16 from them. wrote them an email last week but no response yet.. what do you guys think?? any suggestions would help. thanks...

I'm running those with 2" lowering shackles. No problem with rubbing, but these are HUGE. In the Jeggs catalog they say they are 14" wide sidewalls and 10" treadwidth. LIES! In reality they are 12" tread.

Hoosier does NOT have a 30 x 16 slick. Check with others I think (IMO)14" is too much tire for our trucks.

Rich, I do not think you will find anything else in 16" for our trucks. Seems everyone is running this combo, although you may be the lowest I have seen trying these. Maybe someone local has a set of theses wheels/tires to try on before spending the $$$.

If you buy them and have fitment issues I will buy them from you if no damage is done. Let me know when you are heading to the track.

On 16 x 10" American Racing Baja wheels these DO NOT fit under the wheel well arch. They do stick out. I don't know the offset of your wheels but I'd be concerned also. My truck doesn't squat under acceleration, it rises (Lakewood slapper bars) so no problem for me. For you......
