Tires Question..

What size spacer do you have on those 10.5" wide wheels and do you have any rub? I'm considering getting the same tires for the street to help the Whipple and 3.73 gears hook. I have 3/8" spacers on 10.5" wheels and was hoping it wouldn't rub and that the tires would last longer than the BFG DR's, those lasted half as long as the MT DR's and the Hoosier DR's I've had on in the past. I'd have to say I'll probably get 1000 miles out of BFGs and I get about 3000 out of Hoosier and MT's.

How long do you think they'll last on the street, what is your experience or do you just use them at the track? Any input on this tire for fit and street use and life would be appreciated. And no I would never drive it in the rain, heck I swerve to avoid puddles and damp spots from sprinklers as it is..
