just saw a guy get the 275's under the fenders with quads still on and all he did was use a bfh on the inner fender to stop the rub

Do they stick out past the fenders?? I cant tell witht he pics.

oh and that doesnt look like 4.5 inches of backspacing....There is hardly any lip on the rim.

i just ordered a pair of 15" pacer wheels (draglite copies) with MT ET Streets on them for 150 bucks on ebay. The tires are 26x11.5x15, so thats like a 295ish tire, they should be coming in, in a week or 2, ill let you know how they fit, im planning to remove quadshock and the BFH, maybe a spacer, hoping not though.

26x11.5x15 is actually 275/50. The width of a 275/50 is 11.5 wide. The tread is 10.5 wide.

Sorry, they're 15x8 w 5 1/2 bs my bad, and ive tucked the outer lip and it just clears

 

[90lxcoupe]

ive got 275/60s and i bet with 4.5 bs they would clear the quads, but not the outer lip. i have 5.5inch bs and i plan on adding 1/2" spacers once i have longer studs so it fills out the wheelwells more.

i bet you could fit 295's but i would be worried about the height i think they are over 29inches.

anyone ever try 305's or 325's without minitubbing the car?? if not someone should cause that would look dam nice. there is someone wiht a hatch that put 315's on his car without too much drama

I've got 275/50's on supposedly 15x10" draglites with 6.5" backspacing - what I thought I bought, however when measuring, they looked more like 15x9 w/ 5.5" of backspacing to me. Either way, I hammered a little on the quad shock case because it was barely touching (no spacers). I also had to beat on the inner fender a little bit.

All I'm gonna say is there's only rub when going up an inclide at an angle and if I swing the ass around (180* slides, etc), it rubs on the inner fender, so I can't do donuts anymore.

I do have my old 15x8 w/ 4.5 B.S. I would probably sell if you want them.

thanks guys. it seems i have alot of options. i guess i can go with a 15x8 rim with 28x11.5. 4.5 bs brings the wheel in or out?

brings it out

4.5 inch back spacing looks horrid.

 

[jimsstang91]

so what backspace should i get??. i want to put a 28 x 11.5 tire on. why does a 4.5 backspace look bad??

 

[90lxcoupe]

4.5 looks bad all together in my eyes. get 5.5 and if ur having issues put a 1/2inch spacer on it
