terrible0ne · 03-06-2001, 03:16 PM

I was thinking of getting bfg drag ra. for the street and was thinking if the 275/50/15 will fit because of the qaud shock cause my 255/60/15 have very little room and if they dont fit how can I get them to fit ?
thankz for any help

Ummm....remove the quad shocks. You might also have to "massage" the rear fenderwell with a rubber mallet or a dead blow hammer.

not trying to stir things up here, but i wouldnt remove the quads unless you have aftermarket upper and lower control arms. i took mine out to clear wide, sticky tires, and with my stock uppers, all i would get is wheel hop. you can try flipping them, that works for some people. but the tires will fit if you remove them. just my thoughts on the matter. nick

Turn the quad shocks around and the tires should clear.
