made my tire decision
ok tell me what u think and if im going to be able to fit them....im going to get the bf goodrich drag radial's tread pattern 2 for the back the dimensions are 275/50/r15 those are 11.3" wide on a 8.5" rim but i got 15x7's which is the bare minumum so im thinking there gonna be like 10.9" wide. those are the ones with the single patch of bare treadless rubber down the middle and have the treads on the sides. that should be a decent summer tire eh? and for the fron some regular 215/65/r15's radial t/a's.. what does every think of that, i am giong for a drag race look, and i need traction thru first so i can hopefully get into the mid 13's....its either these or sticky mickeys the indy profiles...

Re: made my tire decision
no way!
Have you talked to the tire shop yet? i think they'll probably tell you that those tires are way out of dimension for those wheels. 275's seem way too big for 15x7's. doesn't seem safe... they might come off. I would say 235's at the most. I only really deal with street tires, not drag tires... so that world might be a little different. I know Michellin? (can't remeber) has tire size recommendations for different sized wheels on thier website and I never saw anything that big for 7" wheels.

A 275 will not safely fit on a 7 inch wide rim. Could you throw it on? Sure, but it's not gonna be safe. According to the sie above, the minimum width rim for a 275 is 7.5 inches, but I personall wouldn't even do with something that small.

i called up jegs apparently 7" is the bare minumum...in the mag it says 7" he said i should be able to fit those inside the wheel well and on those 7's without a hitch..theyll look EXTREMELY sick..and buble over the rim nicely..ill get pics when i get them on..
