Yes stock width... Wheel backspacing is 4.5" 5 lug s-10 axle set up.
Tires will be close... I had to push the front dog leg lip in a bit... as the tires would increase in size in the middle slightly scraping the tire on the first set we raced with. They make a 24.5 x 8 x 15" rim which might be better for a street car. I am doing 10.50s and 5000 stall 1.39 60 foot and still am not spinning the tires off the line. So a street car with 24.5 probably will be fine to low 11 sec too.
