It's all in perspective really.... and what you refer to as "fast"

As you know the main intention of my truck is to perform well on the drag strip, even if it is still going to be streetable. On the initial setup I am looking for mid 11's @ 125-130 mph, but in a season or two I plan on stepping it up a notch. I don't really want to be pushing 7"+ wide billet wheels down the track at 140+ mph. Tires that wide have a tendency to drive themselves wherever they please. Ideally, I'd like to have the capability to run no wider than a 5" rim on the front for the race track, and if need be run a 18" wheel on the street.

You see what I'm saying?
