at least the door could be fully opened without hitting the railing...might have needed a ladder to hook up the rpm lead, though.

Whoa there sparky, I know alot of people on TR race, hence the name oh observant one, and I'm sure you have alot of fun beating on your truck. What I said is that 30s on that truck = SUVs/Pickups that NEVER touch mud but have monster truck tires = insanely modded showcars with $50 grand under the hood = They are for looks, bragging rights, girl impressing, etc.

I didn't say racecars shouldn't go fast or that offroaders shouldn't offroad that wouldn't make any sense would it? It would sort of undermine the whole purpose of the site wouldn't it?

O and I'm not a dawg. I speak real English.

From your post you make it seem like people don't use their trucks offroad and cars on tracks, and that the only reason people mod their cars and trucks is for looks and bragging rights.. If you don't think so, go back and read it, you made it sound like that. Besides though, even the ones that DON'T use their llifted trucks offroad, and fast cars on tracks, atleast they could. There is nothing to gain with these wheels

I love that picture I saw a month back somewhere, but how do you shell out that much and not get some decent lip on those rims??
