those tires are HUGE! sure it can be done, you'd have to cut the fenders. curious, why would you want to run a tire that large?

drag only tires or you want to street them? yes, 26 inches tall. again, anything is possible, it just depends on how much you want to hack up your fenders.

maybe you need to turn down the boost? is 600hp necessary while driving down the highway?

you are right, that number is with race gas on 93 it around 400 still gets stupid i could always throw in the ls tranny, but i like the short gears for the track. basically i am trying to find out if these tires will fit under the car to help with traction issues. i already have trac bars and straps, but wheel hop kills axles just tryin to prevent that from happening

i really don't think anyone here has done it so the best advice you're probably going to get is from me. it ca be done, you'll likely need to hack up your fenders a good amount.
