I know the real 26x10"s are a little taller and grow some on the top end but I didn't think it would make THAT much difference....I mean I was sitting on the limiter the last 100-200', I only stayed in it all the way through it once because I was worried about popping it. I just got a 9" and went down to 3.70 gears, I know its gonna be a turd on motor but hopefully it will still run ok on the spray....Maybe 3.90s would have been a better choice. My car is 1.5" lower and I don't think I could get 28"s on there without rolling the fender lips etc.

I guess we'll see but I just can't imagine spraying on 4.30s and not running out of gear in 4th.....
