Damn, those welds look killer on your S10. Still amazes me how small those trucks are. The fronts like like 20s on a fullsize.

17" fronts, but I am going to do without fronts for a little while. I have a limited budget to work with.

Surprisingly, those 325s look like they fit really well on there. Why not run those?

Yeah my street wheels with tires weigh 52.2lbs. and so do the rears, but the fronts weigh 20lbs. It would be nice to take that weight off of the front.

The 325's stick out about 1/4-1/2 inch on the sidewall and the tread is even with the fender so I want the tire a little narrower. I am going to run a 28" tall tire though.

Holy cow, you're saying that weld wheel and M&H front runner combo only weighs 20 lbs? If that's the case, I could stand to lose 100 lbs of rotating mass off the front. That could make a huge difference at the track.

My bad it was 32lbs. I typed what it saved per wheel.

Bought another bottle from a buddy. I figure 3-4 passes a bottle I might need another to play with. I used the wife's Terrain to go get it and the boys seat worked well on keeping it in place (the boy stayed home).
