I kinda need a 26" tire, because of my tranny being a closer ratio then a regular 02J, my 4th is 1.15 so it’ll top out @ close to 118-120 on a 26"

02J with a little bit of work and a diff. we’ll c how it performs…I am more worried about my axles then the tranny honestly ☹ (need to do something about that)

Yes, 22X8X15…I got them from a friend with my kosei’s k1’s (he said 6-8 passes on an N/A VR6) I haven’t touched them since, been a year maybe longer…I can take some pictures if you are interested
