    skitzofrenic66 What's an Import?

    I am running 255/60r15's on my buick ralleys that are 15x8. will a 275/60r15 tire fit on the car without rubbing anything on the front or the rear? I'm afraid the tires might rub in the rear.

    275's didnt rub on my 15X7's in the rear, but the for the front I went for 235-60 R 15's. 275's in the front would deffinetly rub. Maybe someone hear can clarify for sure...not to keen on the 15x8 rims.

    I run the 275/60r15 dragradials on 15x8 buick rallyes with 4.5 backspacing now on the back. There is plenty of room. 1.5" on the inside and just over an inch on the outside.

    I'm actually looking to see if I can stuff the 325/50r15 dragradial in there on my current 15x8's. They are 1.7" wider, so it will be very tight. I've been chatting with several people, one of which who has them on his car now. It looks like I would have to trim the top of the outer wheelwell about 1/2" to ensure good clearance, but it may work well.

    I'll let everyone know as soon as I start sticking tires under there and seeing what I can get away with.

    tires

    alright.............to give you guys some insight on tires that'll fit under buicks, on my buick i did some measureing as far as the rear tires go.........so far buick has been the best car i know of to fit the meat:Brow: on my buick, in the rear i have a set of puy supply tires so i can't give you the newtype measurement code but hear they are my 10' cragers with 12in' wide and 28 1/2in" tall, tires are exactly flush with the quaters........then i measured the space left in the back...........2 3/4in' left...............WOW:shock:, that means with the right back spacing of the rim i could have a set of 14in' wide meats on the back and be legal:grin:

    but as far as the front tires go i haven't checked into that, you could always limit your turn radius :Do No:
