I know and Im sure the look cool, all im saying is that you are gonna need a very powerful engine and a VERY GOOD transmission(g-force, jerico, liberty, etc....) to push those 31x16.5 tires down the track. But like I said Good luck and the project is looking good.

Have faith, besides, its only 13 inches of tread width. 16.50 is the section width, cuz its a DOT tire, they are labeled differently. And who cares, they look cool.

That's just awesome news Doc. I knew you would come around back to the rotary. I'm very proud of you. Looks like someone with a little hemi is getting scared...... LOL. Good luck. I can't wait to see the results.

He'll be alright if he tunes it right and lays off the nitrous. He's not going to need it anyway to kick your butt. hehe. Oh, and if his fuel filter is not clogged.
