Ok so, with a full tank of juice & me out of the car, it weighed in at 1231kg. Maybe a little heavier than i expected but... who cares!

Here's a quick shot anyway->

You will have to let them down to about 20 psi to start with and squeeze the throttle  on with these tyres ,if you get bitten by the drag bug then you will need MT ET Street radials in the same size .What is your diff ratio and trans.

Trans is a full manual shift trimatic, 4500 stall, diff is 3.9 LSD borg warner. A mate has some ET radials but they're just a but too big at 255's.
The drag bug has well bitten, but this is just a street car... well sort of. Already looking into a hilux diff swap with better ratios.

You can go to a 4.11 in that diff the 25 spline axles will be fine . ( any pintara diff will be 4.11) , I have this setup with 3500 converter and its purrfect for street strip. I fit the street radials at home and drive them to the track ,they need 20psi and a quick second gear burnout to get them warm . They have done 66 passes and about 200 fun street miles and still have about 1/3 life left .

I was thinking more along the lines of a 4.5 geared & locked hilux diff, it just feels doughy off the mark on the street. But this diff, 3.9 LSD 28 spline custom axles shortened housing with billet ends blah blah blah owes me a bit more than to turf it after 6 months.
