looking for new Drag Radial

LordMustangGT · Feb 18, 2009

Anyone got pics of how a 275/50R15 & 275/60R15 looks on a fox? Just wondering if the 60 is too much? Be running them on Weld racing draglites with 5.5 backspacing.

60 is too much. Had them on a couple cars years ago, and they didn't fit well, and unless you need a 28" tire, the 50 is a much better choice, looks and performance wise.

Most people go with 50s because the fitment is easier, but if you want as much traction as possible in a stock wheelwell you can make the 60s fit. And imo a 60 stuffed in there with the right stance looks baaad ass. Which one of your cars are they for?

Matt, the tires and wheels on my white mustang are the 8" 5.5 bs welds with the m/t 275x50x15`s

I had them on my 89 before, the car you`ve seen is the 80

Yea which car is it for and what gears are you running. My car with 5.5" bs draglites fit fine with both the 50's and 60's. 60's needed minor hammering and thats all. 15x10 6.5" bs fit fine also with the 60's

15x8 5.5 50's

15x8 5.5 60's

15x10 6.5 60's

I've always run a 15x8 wheel, 5.5" B.S. and a Nitto 555R DR 275/50/15. They fit great and look killer. Always get a lot of compliments on 'em. Here's some pics of my 85 LX Notch and my 88 GT Daily Driver that run the same wheel and tire sizes...two different brand wheels.
