Tom, Are you using 12" wide rims in back with and 10" wide in front with 4 1/2" Back spacing as Butler specified? What is the MT part number on your tires?

I looked at the Micky Thompson Sportsman S/R tires today on the Summit Racing website.

Front: MTT-6654 will fit my original Butler supplied 10" wide Centerline rims. MT Tire is 26" to 26.99" in diameter with a section width of 12" which is very close in size to my current BFGoodrich P275-50-R15 TA Radials which is 27" in diameter. So it is close in size.

Rear: MTT-6642 will also fit the 12" Wide Centerline rims. But it is almost 2" larger in diameter at 29"and the section width is 15" which is 2" wider than the BFGoodrich P295-50-R15 TA Radials. I believe this tire will also fit, but it will be nice to know your setup.

When I built my car I pushed the Jaguar IRS back an additional 3/4" to better center the wheel in the wheel arch, so I have a little more wheel clearance between the front of the rear wheel and the body/frame.

Thank you!!!
