centerline warriors will fit w/o grinding.I dont know if you can special order them in a different b/s,but jegs has them in a 6.5 back space, I have them in 10" w/26 " 11.50x15. nogrinding norub and they dont rub.anywhere,they dont stick out past or the fender.the more sidwall you run the better,thats why tou need a 15" rim, the sidewall absorbs the torque ,you may be able to get a 27" tall tire. do moderete burdouts in the shallow front end of the box after backing into the box and pulling out .andjust your side mirrors to see your fenderwells.make sure both tires are wet.Put it in low and break torgue that puppy up to about 4500 rpms,watch your mirrors for equial smoke.(may have to shift it second) let off the brake when the smoke is going and ease up of on the gas while coasting forward ,the tires scould be catchen up with the car.If you did the back in and pull up thing right,you dont even need a dry hop.STAGE AND RUN Slicks will be the easiest on your car (i HOPE IS A AUTO?). Wheel hop and doing burnouts where both tire cant spin will kill it make sure they are both in water.This till save spider gears and pinion that they run on.Also it saves pos units I sprayed a 94 B4C car w/sportsman pros a 150 shot with no problems.Over 120.000.miles. I had a stock conveter and flashed it on the spray. Good flexable sidewall and no crazy abuse

Is that a joke? You make it sound like the 10 bolt can't handle one launch on slicks. Especially an auto with stock gears should be fine. I personally have launched from the limiter on et streets with 3.42 gears and not broke.
I think everyone gets so caught up in what they read that they don't try it out themselves. ALTHOUGH> I do not endorse leaving on the limiter, it can be done without breakage on some cars.

Well I didn't mean he'll grenade it the first time. Maybe it'll last maybe it won't. But chances are it will die on him.

I'm just trying to give him the worst case senario so he won't be suprised if his rearend dies.

You're right Rice Eater, I think your warning is necessary.
