Tire Size

[Black87GT]

What do you guys think would be a good DR (size) to run on the back of my car, to really fill the wheel well better, right now the backs are 235/60/15s i think... the rim is a 15x7 and they just look tiny to me.

Any ideas?

Heres a pic to get an idea

I like 275 60 15s if your wheel off set will work.

will 275s fit without removal of the quad shock? because ive heard different stories about 275s not fitting..

That is going to depend on your wheels. Your going to have to measure that. You can reverse the Quad shock for more clearance.

275s would look huge to these tiny 235s.. they would look great..

Anybody else have any ideas?

I have 15x8 5.5 backspacing Draglites with 275/50/15 Mickey Thompsons.

I had to flip the quadshocks and hammer in some of the sharp edges on the inner wheelwell. They fit fine.

What is the backspacing of your 15x7's? The 275's might be a little squeezed on a 15x7.

Not sure of the back spacing, i bought them and was never told :/

whats an easy way to measure bs?

If you use the 275 60 15s there is more sidewall and they will be ok with the 7" rims, yes 8" would be better.

Get under the car and check the clearance with your current setup. Keep the suspension loaded so you can get accurate measurements.
