Post Will BFG Drag Radials fit my car??

I've got an '89 GT with the tailpipes still on it and i want to know if the 255/60/16 BFG Drag Radials will fit under my car WITH the quad shocks and tailpipes?? I run 225's now and they almost seem kinda close to the tailpipes.

My buddy has 295/?/15 Radial TAs on the back of his 88 LX and he still has tailpipes. He rubs his fender though when he takes a corner too hard or if there's people in the back. Oh, he doesn't have his quad shocks.

Don't know if that was much help.

I need to keep my quad shocks, b/c I get a lot of wheel hop if i don't. I have upper and lower control arms, but they still hop. so, i really want to keep them

Thumbs up

Yes they fit nicely. And look nice too.

I have those exact tires on pony rims. The only problem you could have is if you have custom wheels with a shorter back spacing.

I have full exhast and quads still there.
