True it looks crap when the tires stick out.
Im stuck with a 10" rear wheel w/5" back spacing Wonder if 275/50/15 or 275/60/15 will fit under on a 10" |

My budget is already blown with this engine build of mine, so no new wheel for me any time soon.
will have to go with the 10s for now. Them tires are HUGE, I guess your going for a Strip / street car

definition of a "street car" though. I've seen 7 second cars with license plates driven on the "street". Is that a street car? Sure, why not. If it's registered and insured, it's a street car.  I just want some big a$$ drag radials.

Ditto! I am rethinking my logic of trying to fit the 315's though as it may take too much work and money to fit them. I could just ''be happy'' with the 275's but i doubt it!

and looked at one of each. The 315 looked way bigger than the 325. From a 28" to a 30" tire is a bigger difference than I thought. |

A 275 will fit on a 10" rim. That's what I have on mine. you can fit a 295 M/T DR on a Firebird, you just have to trim the wheel well edge alittle to get it to fit. The 295 puts the tire right even with the wheel well and I also agree that when a tire sticks out further that the wheelwell it looks like $h!t.

The 275's WILL work! Jeff Kinsler's car (68 Firebird) uses them and he pulls 1.33-1.34 60 ft.'s (car runs 9.30's). That is the max size tire he can run in the RAM Racing Series. As long as you aren't putting down some serious power, you should be ok.

If you had a mono leaf car you'd have to have a plate machined for the gap on the perch. Make sure you set your pinion angle between 2-4 degrees negative. Buy the Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks as well. That's what Caltracs techs recommended. |
