What size tires are you guys running with the 15X10's? I was leaning towards the
Mt's 325/50R15's and then I wasn't for sure how they would fit! I already had to beat the fender well in a bit before for the 315's I already had on the car so then I was thinking about some MT's 315/60R15's, What do you all think and what are you guys running?

Let me know how they fit! I'm looking to order my stuff most likely Monday or Tuesday! That's when the tax return cash will be in the account, Lol! I just would hate for the tires to be hitting the **** out of the fender well. I did beat them in pretty good for the 315's so hopefully it was enough, because I just painted all of my fender well's with some high temp semi gloss black paint! They look bad *** now!

So what lowering springs is everyone going to be running to accomadate the gap between the tire and fender well. My back wont look as bad as the front for sure. I would say I would need to drop the front about 2 1/2 to 3 inches to make it look good. The back maybe around an inch or so. Would that be a good combination in mixing springs up like that. Just would like some insight on what folks recommend and what they are using!

Are you planning on getting some longer wheel studs front and rear? There are lots of tracks out there that won't let you through tech when the stud is nowhere near the end of the lug like yours is. Not to mention longer studs would be safer.

Are new studs recommended for these drag tire setups? If so what size to go with? Ordering my rims this week and want to make sure I have everything that is needed prior to install!

3"long in rear and front, that is hellified long in my opinion. I measured them tonight from the front of the axles to the end and they are around 1.25" long. I know i'm not needing that long, I would like another thread or 3 to catch, not bottoms out the lug nut and have a tire that flops around! I was thinking around 2.25 to 2.5 tops! I would figure that would measuee me in at about what 1.34 to 2" on the axle front side. Hell I dont know! I know that a lug nut can only screw on around and inch and then you have the rim which is what a 1/2 to 3/4" so that would leave me needing about 1.75 from the front of the axles to the end. I don't know, so I was thinking I'm going to call race industries tomorrow and ask someone that deals with these kind of things. Apparently i cant get a deffinant answer here this time!
