Tires
 
I have 15x7 stock rims in the rear, the question is how big can i go and not have clearance issues for this rim size, Iam looking at BFG's to keep things matching, thanks for the help!

I had a set of 275/50/15 BFG Radial TA's on a 15 x 7 they buldged alittle but worked fine, I went to a 8" rim 5.5" back space and they fit better. My wheel lips have been trimmed and I do not run the quad shocks.

By the way that looks like one hell of a set-up you have 10.9 compression, turbo and 300shot of N20? What do you think it will run and do you race in a special class NMRA or FFW?

I'm running BFG Comp TA 255/50/16's w/ out any problems. I think I could squeeze in more, but I like it the way it is!
Wow, that sounds like one hell of a car you got - what turbo do you have in it?

I have 15x7's w/o quads and run 245/50/15s. I actually chose the Dunlop sp8000, but you can't go wrong with the classic BFG. No clearance prob whatsoever. Had to go with a stiffer spring/shock over stock, but looks like you've got that taken care of. Just shop around and ask lots of questions. Discount Tire seemed to have the best prices in my area. (sorry about the plug)
