So after talking with another guy who has a scsb like I do I have made a decision on tire size to run while racing. Probably going to go with the Mickey Thompsons in a 33x10.5x16 with the rim being 16x7 front and 16x10 rear. The problem I am having is deciding on which tire compound to run M5 or X5. This is where I need help from the guys who have knowledge in this area. Also if you think that the 33x10.5 is to tall please advise why and what you would recommend. I have added the links below. The wheels are crager d windows for those interested. The truck is as described below shows minus dana 70 with detroit locker (3.55 gear) and what the future holds. I will be removing the fuel tank for a 15 gallon fuel cell. A roll cage will be added for the track. For suspension I will be adding another 2" leaf to each side and flipping the axle so the leafs will run under the axle as to over it now. If any other mod to the suspension is done it will be at the mercy of the suspension shop that will be building the cage for me. Any info is appreciated.
The rims I am looking at are cragar d windows 16x10

Also looking at getting a pair of 16x7 rims 4" rear spacing and 0mm offset. Wil these fit on the front of a 95 2wd 2500? Or would I be better off going with a 16x8 4.5" rear spacing and 0mm offset? Again these will be on the fronts only and will be used at the track only.
