    Sticky Tires????

    I just picked up some MT ET streets. I am running a pre 99 rear end and didnt put the 3.5" tuds in it when I built the rear. I currently run a 3/4" Hubcentric spacer to fit my street tires (bolts to rear the wheels bolt to the spacer). Instead of pulling the axles out and putting in the long studs, Can I just bolt the new wheels up to the current spacer or do I need long studs?

    I couldnt wait so I put them on this morning after I got off work. How do the stud lengths look? This is with no spacer and they fit fine, 15s with no caliper rubbing Tires are MT ET streets, 26" tall 10.5 LT.
    at 15 psi a little loose in the rear. Tried 20psi seems alot better. And I was being easy, couldnt wait so I tried them on the street.

    Looks good. No spacer is the best way. I wouldn't want to launch them at the track on spacers.

    lookin good man! no matter what without tubes you will see a little sway on the road with those. i run mine with about 20-26lbs on the street, and run them at about 14 at the track. they are a good tire and will definetly help your 60'!
