Tire size?

[scrisp]

I just found two brand new Goodyear Eagle racing slicks in my garage last night. My fiance's uncle stored them there last summer and told me that when I got them out I could have them.

My question is about the size, they are 29x12-15. Would these fit under a stock 70' GS, without any problems with rubbing/shredding? I don't have the car yet, I pick it up on May 1st. I thought about selling the tires on EBay, but if they will fit, I'll just keep them. :-) I'm looking at 15x8" wheels fro the back.

Also, I've seen tubes for sale and have never used slicks before, what should I know in order to use them? Are tubes required?

I wouldn't be using the tires all the time, just in case I wanted to run it at the local strip. :-)

Thanks,
Scott

They sound a bit wide for a 15x8 rim. I would think you'd need a 10" wide rim for those.

Do you know the actual tread and section width? I know the max section width you can fit is just under 13". I run 325/50 Dragradials and they are 12.9" section width. And I did have to trim the top of the fender wells to have no rubbing issues.
