stock rear end

im putting a 10.5 rear rim and a wide tire on the back of my stock car. what will the factory axle/rear end think about this. am i now going to cause damage to these parts with that much more traction just by flooring it? or will it hold up?

running a normal 315 radial wont necessarily improve traction. If you buy crap tires, you will haev crap traction regardless of width.

My 315 sumitumos were terrible. my 315 nitto DRs were the win. I would have considered running a 285 khumo MX had I kept the car.
