They will stick A LOT better than the stockers.

I could easily burn the stockers. These tires I can barely spin. They made a drastic difference and I would only buy these tires for street racing unless I went with a drag radial or something of that nature.

Don't get me wrong......depending on your truck and its setup of mods...you will be ABLE to spin the tires. But the difference in traction is very drastic. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I have them on my stock steel wheels without any problem at all. I dont think the aluminum wheel are really any different in size. I am sure they will fit an alum. wheel.

Go to discount and see if they have something in that size. Put on one or two tires and see if you like the way they look. If not got to a different size. no money lost.

zerog10201 has those tires on 16" centerline wheels. they hook very well. he put a set of traction bars on his truck. the bars and tires combined give him a small chirp from a dead stop whereas i spin for the first 5-10 feet on my stockers (which are also just about gone).

Ok it has been determined that these hook very well...which is awesome for which our truck is made for street racing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

So can i throw 2 of these on the rear or do i need to change all 4...cause i have the money rite now for 2 rears not all 4.

I prob will buy 2 now then get 2 more for the front later... <img border="0" alt="[Truck]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_truck.gif" />
