I have 26 x 10.0" Mickey Thompson ET Drags on Weld 15 x 8 rims in the back. The rims have a 5.5" backspacing. With the car lowered 1-1/2" you will have to bend in slightly the inside of the fender well for clearance.

cool thanks, do you know what size that would be on a radial tire? i have re mounting brackets for my quad shocks, and mine is also lowered 1.5 in. are those the widest that you can fit in there?.

im planning on running BFGoodrich g force drag radials. have you heard much about them? im not looking for wet traction the car doesnt see rain, and i put very little mileage on the car. about 1000 per summer.

Yeah, your not going to get much bigger than that under there I don't think. Any wider slick or height and I'd have to do serious fender well and fender lip modifications to give it clearance. No thanks.
