Drag radial

Sneaky · 04-01-2002, 09:57 AM

What is the largest drag radial size I can fit on a 87 GT with a weld 15X8 rim. I really favor the MT's ET streets. I have read that a larger tire is better for a manual car which mine is. Thanks for your help.

Cool, but will a 28X11.5 15 MT Street fit? Just wondering if anyone has run this size with success.

I have the 275\50\15 BFG's and I had to use wheel spacers, but I also retain the tailpipes out back too. I also had to roll fenders.
