Hey did I am looking to fit the new MT drag radials on my stock pony rims they are a 255/50r16. I am not too sure if they would fit the rim. I wouldnt mind a bit of bulge on the sidewall. Anyone know?

I have a set of 255/50/16s MTs DRs on my 93 vert and they fit just fine. I don't have any tire rub problems or anything like that but the car hasn't been lowered at all either.

So they'll fit on a stock ride height car but not sure about a lowered one. I would imagine that they would

Here is a couple of pics of the the tires on the car

Nice car and plates there ryc cukr!

With a lowered car you might have to roll the inner fender lip in order to not "cut up" the sidewalls while launching.

Didn't have to on mine. Although, when my brother and nephew or in it it does rub slightly. But, they each weigh in at over 280lbs.
