Wheel and Tire help

[DuraGoode]

i have a single cab Duramax 4x4 with 3.73 gears and i am needing some input on wheel and tire choice. power level is about 650-700 mostly be on street and strip.

nitto 420 on a 20x10 wheel

et street 295/50/16 on a 16x12 wheel
is the 16x12 wheel gonna be to wide would the 16x10 be a better choice

m and h 275/55/16 on either 16x12 or 16x10

any help is greatly appreciative.

Just an FYI, I wouldn't run M and H's on the street. They'd be fine driving to the track, but unlike the ET Streets they're really not meant for the street. The wheel width is really going to depend on offset, but you sure don't need 12" wide wheels for 295's. How many miles are you planning on getting out of these tires. For obvious reasons the Nitto's are going to last forever compared to a drag radial. After looking at those tire heights, if you're planning on street driving the drag radials I'd suggest 3.42's.

it is just a truck to play around with on the street and take to the local tracks just want something that will hook up, offset of the 20x10 with the 420's is a -25, the 16x12 are like -44

the m and h and et streets wont last as long if ran on the street and i am ok with that but with my gearing will those tires be better since they are smaller i believe they measure 28-29 inches

The ET Streets are 27.7" tall. You want lower gears with shorter tires. Those are pretty short tires for the street. Like I said, you don't need 12" wheels for that narrow of a tire and I wouldn't run the M and H's on the street. I'm assuming your truck is 4wd, if so go with the Nitto's. If it's 2wd, you'll enjoy some drag radials on the street

I run between 30-35 psi on the street.
