Default Tire size question?!?!

Alrighty, here's the deal. I'm gonna order the BFG comp t/a drag radials..now i'm wondering what size...

235/60R-15 or...
255/50R-16 ...

the price is only a $10 difference so it doesn't matter...I'm pretty sure the 235's will fit alright...will the 255's?

thanx...Jorge

The 255 16's will work.

I wonder about your choices though. One is for 15" rims the other for 16". Are you also unsure about what rims your going to run?

I am running ponies see the attached pic.

Then the 255/50 16 BFG Drags will work fine.

Default will I have to...

Alrighty, with the 255's will I have to cut off the quad shock or anything like that? I really don't want to have to. I wanna get the biggest tire without having to cut off nething. thanx

George

Default DaveR_GT ...

Do you have the drag radials on all 4 corners? Cause I think I might just put them in the rear. and use the other 2 for when my first 2 run low on tread

just the rear. You definately DON'T want to run Drag Radials on the front.
