Irs?

[5.0Stanger]

So, the stock IRS will take DOT slicks, but not full slicks? If so, I was thinking about getting a pair of 26" DOTs. I figure that I can start with the 26" size but not sure about wheel size will clear the rear brakes. Honestly, this is the first time I've bothered to research this, feeling that I still need to change the IRS subframe and control arm bushings. I already have the diff bushings done (much reduced wheelhop).

I am running full slicks on my IRS. All of my bushings are stock.

If you don't have a billet flow IRS brace get one or you will have an IRS that looks like this.



The cure.






You will need a 16" or 17" rim.

MT ET streets 26 X 11.5 x 16 or 26 x 11.5 x 17 (these can go on stock rims)

The 16" will give better traction due to more sidewall.

Diamond racing wheels makes some affordable rims for the 16's.

If you choose the diamond just call them and tell them you have an IRS cobra and they will send you the correct backspacing.

Thanks for the info. The only mods to the IRS I've done are the MM aluminum diff bushings and the Billetflow brace. I'll check on the wheels.
