So I wanted to get another set of Nitto drag radials for my weld rims. But when I saw how nice the new M/T drag radials I had to have them. I got them for a real good deal on them. I got size 275/50/15 now I hope they fit my fox.





Anyone have these? and if so do you like them?

I just hope they fit right. I have been told that the size I got will fit without rolling the fender lip.

275's should fit depending on the rim size and back spacing. Mine fit fine. Let us know how you like them.

Yup, that should work. Post up some pics too when you get 'em mounted up.

I tried to use 275/60R15 (28") ET Streets on 15x7 steelies..didn't work too well. The wheel lip was slicing (backspacing would have fixed that easily) but the ground effects were rubbing badly...I think rsw007 is using 28s on a GT though, but I may be wrong. A 275/50R15 (26") will fit without problems.
