Just a heads up here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If you have the stock 10 bolt in your Hot Rod it will not last very long with slicks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Your wheel and tires combo sounds cool to me. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Whether or not the rear last depends on your combo. There are a few thousand posts on it if you do a search. Need more info about your combo to recommend a tire.
