kdio, that is the set up I was thinking about, but then I found a set of 17x8 with funtioning bead locks and I am wondering if that might be a better way to go. Im thinking the sidewall movement might be helped with the 8" rims. Too many decisions!
I know, I know, bead locks are not D.O.T. approved but with all the fake ones these days im sure no one will even notice

.
Thanks for the info and your expierence should I go with the 10's
