92ufogt · 09-30-2003, 08:53 AM

i am going to purchase a set of nitto drag radials but i can't decide which ones to get. 275/50/15 or 275/60/15. any one with pictures of either one of these tires mounted. i have 15X8 weld draglites with a 4.5 back spacing.
thanks

well the 275x50 will be right at the lip with the 4.5" backspacing. But you probably know that if you been running the 4.5". The 275x60 is 2" taller so your gear ratio will suffer and they are really close to the front and back fender area if you have a GT

I run a 275-60-15, with no problems. Not a DR but the size is the same.
