[QUOTE="hotmustang95, post: 1414702, member: 15115"] I can chime in on the staggered tire question. The reason why most chose not to run staggered is money. Every track is different. You'll eat up your front driver or pass side tire way before the rears depending on which way you run. Had you been running a square setup= all four tires the same size, you could rotate your wheels around and allow all the tires to wear evenly. Example you rotate the fronts to the rear because they are wearing on the inside. And the rears to the front because they have plenty of meat left. This will save you from having to purchase new tires so often. If you were running say 275s in front and 315s in the rear you would not be able to rotate them. Now for the 4.10s question theres no right or wrong answer. Lots of factors to apply on choosing what gear best works for your needs but I've heard 3.73s are ideal for a 5.0 pushrod/T-5 tranny and 4.10s with the T-45/mod motor combo. Definitely stick to 17s. No need to run 18s if you don't have to. Only if your gonna put some GT500 Brembos that are overkill and would cost you a shitload of money for everything. When its time for new tires you'd be surprised the price different between the two sizes. [/QUOTE]
