Everyone,

Well...I finally got the MT's mounted on the American Racing Baja rims. Here is a pic of the finished product:



These are the MT ET Streets 26x11.5x16 and AR Baja 16x8's.

I plan on trying them out at Cecil tomarrow. Actually, after all the agony it took to get them, I look forward to the first good "roasting" of the tires. I'll post some pics of them on the truck after tomarrow.

Thanks to JL for making the recommendation. I think its a good choice and is going to look great!! & hopefully be a key factor in consistent 12's.....

BTW, my local Goodyear refused to mount any tire that isn't Goodyear...Those B&^tards.. The manager asked why I didn't buy Goodyear, they are obviously better...

Later,

Cant tell if Goodyear even makes a tire in that size for drag racing...

They make a showroom stock Eagle GSCS that would fit the stock rim but they are $220

Did you check to see if the lug nuts fit? Jamie never asked me the size when I ordered mine and it never crossed my mind. Mine being a '00 is a different size than yours and I think he just mimicked the order when he realized I was ordering what you had. Damn...
