I got a few traction questions.
Will a 15" wheel fit on an 01 with disk brakes?
You think I can get noticable grip improvements upgrading my tires from a 255 to a 285 width?
Also, I was going to fab up some CalTrac bars. For anybody that owns CalTracs, it doesn’t even look like there is enough room for the 2 plates on either side of the Front of the Leaf Spring. Am I missing something?
thanks for the help

You will get a noticeable improvement going to 285s, but may still have some traction problems...
Go to 305's.
Caltracs will fit. You have to take out the factory bushing & steel sleeve and use the new ones with the kit.
Does anybody make a 305 that is close to 30" diameter? I cant find any.
