    Cool.... didn't know that mickey had radials... bias has alway been a turn off for me about them, but I always liked their looks. Have to wear out the firestones and get me some.

    HOLY CRAP BATMAN...................if you keep these tires inside the body theres not much left for axles and a differential......might not have enough room to sneak a driveshaft between them big tires scratch

    I'd like to see pics of those meats on your van, Just to see how far they stick out with the stock rear end. What kind of back spacing do your wheels have???
