I'd be careful with grippy meats at the track unless you like replacing rear ends.

It's already got axles, Eaton LSD, and tubes welded to housing and bolts pinching it.
It has been broken before when he had the 383 and 200 shot in it.
Housing spun on the tubes.
I'll be Goin with 3.08 gears soon anyway so the rear will be the last thing I worry about.

Here are 17x9 Soft 8's on mine. Stock height, 255 50 r17's. Yes the tires are way to short, but they don't rub.

That looks good.
Is it this part number on your wheels?

Its the only option i see for them.
5" back spacing and 0mm Offset


The 255/50/17 looks like you have a ton of room around them. Going up 1.5" in radius looks like it will still have plenty of room?
If your at full lock, how close are you to touching the frame or anything?

@arrg

235/75/15 29"x9.3"
255/50/17 27"x10"
275/55/17 28.9"'x10.8"
275/60/17 30"x10.8"

Your Awesome! Thanks, i think the 275/60/17 should fit fine!
But then again the Toyo Proxes comes in 275/55/17. Its either that or the Nitto 420 275/60/17.... Decisions decisions!!!

Very curious to see how you make out... please post pics when you get them all mounted .....I was looking at the soft 8s too and want to fill my wheel wells up.

I will.
I just ordered my hydroboost stuff again too. So it might be a few weeks before I get around to buying the tires and wheels.

Plus I gotta finish all the little stuff on the truck and run the engine and trans up to temp to check for leaks and all that fun stuff.
