Yeah, those tires weigh, what 150 lb ea? On the upside, the sidewalls will be stiff enough to work as a run-flat!

I didn't even mean the tires, I was thinking more along the lines of the Dana 60s!

The engine is not a stock 22r either so I don't think it will be to bad with 7.17 gears. I have about 150 hp right now and I am thinking of supercharging it to push it up to 250 hp.

without SERIOUS massaging or a larger sized blower, you won't get any 100hp out of a supercharged on a 22R.

Turbo, maybe close to that, but not a supercharger.

And if you think 150hp is enough to push around 1000-1500lbs of unsprung weight + the vehicle weight.....well....okay!
