Wheels+tire sizes ?

Whats a larger sized wheel and tire that you guys recomend for the rear, preferably that doesnt rub without doing any mods.

 

I am running 15x8's on the back with P235 60's I did have to add a leaf and reshape the springs but If you springs are still strong it may not rub like mine did but it only cost my about $100 to have them do that to the springs.

 

The biggest I have run is 15X8 rims with 255-60's. About 4" of backspacing is the most it will take.

 

I have 15X7" rims and 235X15" on the rear, 225X15" on the front, and no interference. BTW, standard springs rear, 6cyl springs on the front. Hope this helps.

anything between 235 and 255 will work.. now that all depends on how bad your leaf springs are. If they are sagging will your have to go with a 235. One of my cars are lowered in the rear and fits a 255-60-15 (26 inch tall tire) or a J/60-15 (27 inch tall tire).

check the below link out and it will tell you offsets and other sizes I have used.

good luck

 

I have 15x15 rims with 7" back spacing and 33x19.5 tires.

 

I have 15 x 8 Magnums with 255's in the rear. I had to use a small spacer as I was rubbing the leaf and inner wheel well slighty on sharper turns. That will not be a problem with fresh springs.

 

Thanks for all the input guys. Bossmav what is that on/off switch for next to your right taillight?

 

That's the kill switch so track officials can kill the engine and electrical systems in case of an accident (or if they see stuff dripping under the car during staging...) -- I suspect he's had that car down the drag strip a time or two...
