Correct draglite offset/width for 275s

Codydubb · Dec 20, 2012

Anyone know the best offset/width combo for draglites for me to run the biggest tire I can on the back of my fox?

5.5 for an 8
6.5 for a 10

6.5'' on a 10'' rim fits the tire the best, dont be afraid to beat the inner fenders

REDNECK MINITUB! haha

i had to beat the hell out of mine to get a 275/60 on in there with it being some what lowered.

yea mine are bet pretty good, with the radials on it fits the car nice, but with the 28x10's it is really close. I cant go in anymore without moving the springs over.

Another vote for 10" 6.5BS

Codydubb · Dec 20, 2012

Thanks fellas. Heard you get better tread contact with a 10 inch rim?

I have a 275/50/15 on a Draglite. 8.5" with 5.5 rear spacing. I had to remove the quads. Not flip. Remove. I did not roll the lip. I refuse. Tons of room out there anyhow. Close on the inside. Had to BEAT VERY HARD on the inner. You can't see it. I'll try to post some pics.

Your car looks so much like my old hatch, down to the white cowl hood and the draglites I had for it, gets me everytime.

Absolutly, the only reason to run an 8" rim would be if you already had the rims. If you are buying new the 10" rim is the way to go hands down. The tire works so much better on the wider rim.

what he said... we run 10's on the race car but have been thinking about trying them on the 12" wheels that have the old slicks on them.

Codydubb · Dec 21, 2012

Awesome. I have eights right now but the BS is aweful and I can only fit 235s on them it sucks so I'm looking to order new ones looks like it will be 10s with a 6.5 BS

If you buy them and mount them i want pictures. I thought about them in 10" but I don't see how it would work without rolling the lip. There for real is NO room in the inside.

Ive got 10" 6.5bs prostars without rolling the fender lips. Let me know if pics would help. 275/60 tires

90lxcoupe · Dec 21, 2012

It works but you just cant get the car very low without rolling the lips.

looks good

Looks like you have a 275/60. I have a 275/50. I'd like to see them on a 10" wheel with 6.5" rear spacing. I'm actually happy with the stance of my car. I'm probably gonna drop the rear a little more. It is adjustable.

tannerc91gt · Dec 21, 2012

275/60. Car was on cut springs and the lips were rolled but had it set a little higher I know it would have cleared. Does on the red car. Don't know if that helps
