Default Hey Mr. Nuke, look, no spacers!!

I went down to CT and bought a set of wheels from Mr. Nuke and strapped them on El Destructo. I guess you can run 315-35's with no rubbing on the 88-96 new style offset.

I swear, I got WAY better traction with my 16" Kumho's. These are an old gatorback tread and actually spin for a few feet on the 1-2 shift and kick the back end out. I think I am going to replace them with Nitto DR's.
