Trying to get the best looking tire . 275/60r15 rub the quad shock and outer fender, wondering about the NITTO 275/50r15? Pictures and sizes if available. Thanks

Take the quads off and roll the fender. 275/60 should fit.

Best looking and best working tire, are two completely different things.

#1. What do you have done to the car?

#2. How much power does it make?

#3. What gear ratio?

#4. Why do you think you need a 28" tire?

10" rims will actually make a 275/60 fit better, because they dont bulge the sidewall as much.

I just bought it in January. I'll drive it how it sits, this summer. Then I'm sure ill change some things up. Any recommendations?
