tire fittment

[dragradialvega]

i was wondering if anyone has ever tried to fit a 275 60 mt drag radial onto the stock wheel wells on a stock suspension vega with an 8 or 10 inch wide rim....if so what backspace and some piks would be helpful also.....

I had a 275/50/15 drag radial i used to run on my vega in my avatar. It stuck out quite a bit with a 9" rim, stock rear, stock suspension.

the 275/60's are a little skinnier than the 50's.......so it will fit...?

i run 255-60-15 kick ass looks good too on a 15x8 rally

275/60's are almost 28' tall; I hope you like lots of "rake"! Even if you can get the car high enough, I suspect you would still have to trim the wheel opening for clearance, especially at the lower front.

not yet. im in the process of reinforcing my rear end mounts. so it might be a week or two, but it looks bad ass with those big tires tucked under the fender.

I gotta see this- If a 275/60-15 will fit in a stock Vega wheel well, sign me up! I've got a bunch of them(that's what I run on my Suburban), so now I have to try them out on the wagon. I had planned on using 225/50-15's on the rear to keep the car low, but if there's a way to get more rubber in there...........

Thanks,, i will also be waiting, patiently
