    I see them on the M&H site and Im tempted to get these thrown on a 10" rim....


    anyone know if someone has run them or if there is fitment issues ?

    I ran them on the SRT10 I owned...hooked great....never thought about them for an LX....slightly taller than the stock wheel so you will lose some gear....They were a tight fit width wise for the truck....I doubt they will work on an LX but not sure....

    Thanks for the info.... Im running an 8.8 with 3.55s and could always do a gear swap if needed for the bigger tires....


    Im running the 325/45/17s on 17 x 9 wheels now and having a hard time hooking on spray consistently..... Looking to see what my widest tire option would be

    I run the 390's on mine. Mine are on 17X10.5 Boggarts and they fit fine. I do know another racer who also runs the 390's and he has a 1/4 adapters. He has his on a
    10 inch wide rim as well.

    They are extremely wide... I cannot use them in a NMCA event as they extend out past the fender well about and an inch and a quarter. They are extremely sticky and put a ton of meat to the ground. oh yea.. they are 29 inchs TALL. Meaning you will lose some gearing. I am currently running 3.91 gear. I also ran them when I had 3.55 gear...

    you talkin about Bishop ? do you not need spacers cause yours are 10.5" with diff backspacing ?

    If so, do you have the specs on your wheel setup?

    Edit: BTW Im running an 8.8 w/ 3.55s
