Re: Drag slicks rim width and back spacing
10" wheel w/5" back space using a 315/60 or 29x10.5w drag radial or 29x 11-12" slick.

Re: Drag slicks rim width and back spacing
Will the Caltracs work on a lowered truck?

 [/IMG]Cal Tracs on my truck with a custom flip kit. Calvert sells them with the option for a flipped axle or not. I had to remove my overload leaf but that was the only mod to make them fit. I run 15X10 with a 5.5 backspace on 29.5X10.5 Mickeys (Not in this pic). I think 5.0 backspace would be better because mine are really close to the inner fenders. Cal Tracs make a huge difference. I've ran multiple 10.60s and 10.70s and been hooked hard.
