Were talking Bonneville here. Use the Goodyear Land Speed Eagles not the
drag racing Frontrunners. Your not going to get the rear size you want
without complications, unless you find a set of used Mickey Thompsons, and
John Rains has all of those. My recomendation would be to use the 23" on the
front and the 26" on the rear.
