Re: R160 track width?
I should have put this in the previous post. Here's a gear calculator you can play with to figure out how it'll work together.

Just select your tranny, put in your gear ratio and tire diameter and go down to the bottom and it'll tell you your speeds at whatever rpms and mphs you want. Messing with it a bit it looks like you'll be getting 60 at 2400 rpm if you're running 8.25x20 tires (about 37") and a 6.33 rear end. If you''re using an OD tranny the low gears are what you want.
