i have a set of 15x10 rims with beadlocks that i got for 50 bucks. should i go with drag radials or slicks? i still have the stock 10 bolt but i am going to sturdy that up. and if i have exactly 30 inches in my wheel well width wise, can i go with a 29 inch tire, or should i stick with 28?

Track only wheels or street as well?
Slicks are not D.O.T legal, nor are they safe for everyday driving.

Either way you can kiss the 10 bolt good-bye, so go for slicks!

He's got a 2nd gen, and an 8.5" ten bolt - not nearly as many worries as us 3rd and 4th gen guys have.

My 78Z had trouble fitting 28" tires, but the BS on the rims was about an inch too little.
