I don't remember the size, but I think it's stamped on the inside of the wheel.

I was just checking out mickey thompson's website and they make both a P315/45R16 = 27X12.50R16 and a P295/50R16 = 28X11.50R16 et street radial. The 315 has an 11.2 tread width and the 295 has a 10.8.

Oops, negatory. They are way too wide. I missed the factory part of the thread. You could probably widen some stock wheels to accept them. I'm not sure if the backspacing / offset would out properly? I'm going to check into it. That would be a pretty sweet sleeper setup.

So what about the drop kit? I would like to run some, but don't want them to rub while I warm them up.

Big ******* hammer. The nice thing about radials versus bias plyes are the fact that they dont' swell. If they fit cold, they'll fit warm. Just make sure they clear and you'll be good to go.

Are you running a radial or the bias plyes? If you are mixing radial tires and bias plyes you are going to get a major swaying. If not the answer is below your question... You need to put more air in them.
