I'm hoping that's what it is, I'd like to get it sucked in as far as possible.

If u get the inside tire tight as you can against springs and use a 2" spacer between wheels, it should be ~100 inches wide. Only way to get it narrower would be moving springs to inside of frame or trimming them around the tire like merchant did with theres.

I ran 17" gm wheels befor, 3" spacer on the hub and a 1.5 in between, put me about 101" that was with 33, 12.5 sts though. the gm wheels are 1/2" wider than the dodge wheels! our 3.15s are on 16x10 real wheels they were 101 wide on the SRW rear and are 105" wide on the dually rear.

Maybe the looks just gotta grow on me, but it's way out there with a 3" hub spacer and 2" inner. Still in search of two 16" Chevy duals to suck it in. Can't believe it's this hard to find a steel wheel local..

It isn't any easier here, I searched for a while to put a set of 4 NBS 17s together!

Stick with 35/12.50 or some variant of that. Play with gears to achieve your desired wheel speed and rpm. the has more footprint than a 33 and more time to "self clean" before hitting the track again.

Thought I was going to get to put them to the test last night... The front tires are sucked in way more then my old combo. I was backing up to the sled, and the tire caught the v-band to my A/W IC and popped it off :mad:. I did however take it down the 1/8mi strip today in pull trim lol.., 97mph spinning all four dirt tracking the first 40'. Lost the converter on the 3rd pass, I was out of ice anyhow :roflmao:

I always get as straight as I can before stopping and going into 4low and reverse. Cause it is a pain to turn without rubbing the fenders and the 4low will just keep pulling the wheel if you go to far.
