im tryin to get a set of mickey thomson drag radials but will have to go with like a 235 right now due to mickey timpson 255,275,295 bing on national backorder. Im just not sure if a 26.1 overall diameter will b tall enough for 4.10 gears in the rear so it dont run out of gear and all at the track.

mayb some one can help me with this instead of the question about the drag radails. Will a 28x11.50x15 fit under a bu with a 15x7 with a 4 inch backspacing? if so what will i have to do roll the 1/4 lip?

If you hav`nt got the rims yet a15X8 inch rim with 3.5 or 3.75 would work look cleaner.

shouldn't a vette rally be 15x8? 4 inch b.s. should be perfect.

i just tryed my buddy rim and tire its a 15x8 with a 4" bs and it just barely rubed the frame so i just im gonna have to get a 3/4 inch spacer for the rims i have due to the fact they r a 4.5 bs. what u all think.

ok, i understand. most people refer to 15x8's as vette rallies, so that is what i thought you meant. as to the post above, i don't like the idea of running spacers with sticky tires. jmo.
