Biggest DR withOUT rubbing

willys1 · Jan 3, 2004

I have a 93 LX with 16 inch pony wheels,whats the biggest size I can go with, without any rubbing? I'll be going with BFG,how many miles do these last?

I would like to know also. I got the same wheels on my 93 lx.

I run a 275/50/15 on a 15x8 weld with 5.5 bs. I had to lightly massage the inner fenders BUT....they fit. You could run a 255/50/16 maybe on the ponies or get a set of 15's for the track and throw them on some 10 holes like a 235/60. Good luck.

i use a 255/50/16 BFG drag radial, and don't rub, i have removed the quads, and have the car lowered....

i've cut a best of a 1.70 60' on nitrous, and then 1.78 NA, they're workin' for me.....

Do they fit with the quad shocks on?

Forgot to mention I have also removed quads

I have the 255/50/16 BFG DR's, and they generally do not rub unless I hit a bump while cornering pretty hard. These tires are pretty well unmatched in terms of overall dry traction, but do wear out in a relatively short amount of time. I'd suggest Nittos for a car you put a lot of miles on.

Yea ya know,Ive heard people say that about the nittos,but they also say they dont have the bite that BFG have.What do ta think,10,000 miles withBFG?Did you take your quad shocks off?

My cars quad shocks were removed before I bought it. I haven't run Nittos before, but unless your car will only see track duty, there's no reason to not consider running them. I don't think they give up THAT much to the BFG's. The general consensus seems to be that the nittos last about 15,000 miles and the BFG's............not half of that. Like I said before, if you don't put many miles on your car go with the BFG's. One thing about DR's that you should keep in mind is that although they are DOT approved for street use, I don't like to be on the freeway when rain starts falling if you catch my drift.

Justed looked up nitto drag radials,they make a 245/50/16 does anyone use these,and will they fit without taking off the quad shock?
