Thanks Dan. I find it interesting that the MTs you used are actually not recommended on 9.5" wheels per their website:
Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels
Do you have enough rim protection with your sidewalls? I wonder if it would make sense to use use 4 FRONT wheels all around? With the FIA design, they are marketdly different (front to back) unlike the Halibrand style, which simply has a deeper rim. May better achieve the bulgy muscle look in the back with the 7.5" wide rim?
