Should work without a problem. At worst you may have to take a rubber mallet to the fender lips.

They'll fit. Remeber, those tires really can't be driven on the freeway in the rain and they'll wear out in no time! You should pick up a set of factory 10 holes and put some sticky tires on them for the track.

well i acutally have four ten whole rims....two with micky thompson sportsmans which are bald and two with street tires on them, i actually am thinking of going with the BFG g-force KDW 245/50/16 on tire rack it says dry traction 9.1 the same as the drags so ill stick with the KDW's...and the tread wear is hella better and very good in rain it may all work out for me

KDWs arent going add up to the drag radials even if tire rack says so. I used to have them on my 88 they hooked like crazy but were gone in like a month o well small price to pay for traction. pm when you decide what to do i might be able to get you a deal on those tires late
