It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Will you post some pics when they're on? What size did you go with in the front?

Sure. I'm gathering stuff up to five lug swap with 4 wheel disc. The wheels are chrome 2010 GT wheels 18x9 front with a 265/35-18 and 18x10 rear with 275/35-18. These are for street driving. Got some big n little 15s for the track.

Not bad man, I just had the same size NT05's (not the drag radial) installed on the rear of mine yesterday but only drove it a few miles around the neighborhood in cold weather. It doesn't spin in second like it did with the old/worn BFG's.

Nice! I tried to buy nt05's but they were back ordered. A buddy of mine saw these and laughed at me because they are race tires... really more of a gleeful giggle than a condescending laugh.. but yeah. They might not last long, but maybe they'll perform the way I need them to. I've broken my BFG's loose at over 70 mph.

The guy who mounted these for me said he ran the NT05 DR's for a while then went to the NT01's like you have. He said the NT01's were even better, but only lasted him like 2k miles. Given that these are not DR's I'm hoping they last me at least 15-20k miles but I wouldn't expect more than 5k out of your set.

That doesn't surprise me. If they last that long I'll be ok with it, this car is my toy and it doesn't see much milage. It would see more If my turbo ever gets here to me, haha.. but I don't think I've put 5k on it in the time I've owned it.

I may run NT05's next time if they're available.
 
Well to start out with I'm going to just use ranger axles in my 8.8 with a 3.27 gear. I'm going to try to avoid breaking them until I can get some moser or strange 28 splines. Not doing drag radial launches so hoping it'll be ok.
