Don-
I've got the standard trigo wheels with 295/50/15 rear tires and 235/60/15 front tires. My only comment is to think about the cam shaft you are using when deciding on the rear gear ratio. I think the cam in my motor (Comp Cams 292H) might be one step too big for the 3.31s and probably would do better with 3.54s because it really likes to run above 2200 rpm. With that being said, I am going to run it for a while, dial in the carb a little bit and see how it goes. I might swap out the cam next year to something smaller, in which case I think the gearing would be perfect with the 3.31. But 5th really is a nice cruising gear.
