What I did 1-1-2015

Put some wheels on today, outside and inside. Front tires are too small. I think I'm going to move the back to the front and buy some larger rear tires. Can someone tell me a good rear size for an 18" rim?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

What width wheels? The 245/45's would work up front as they're only 26.6" tall. My opinion, the 225's are too small/short for a C10.

8" wide. That's why I said I'm going to move the rear to the front and buy new rear. I agree they are too small. I put the 245s on the front and they work well but I can't leave them that way until I replace the 225s.
