got me some new tires Reply #18 – May 02, 2011, 11:21:59 AM I believe Nick had that exact size tire on his car without any issues....On a sidenote, while pulling the spare out of the trunk on the Mustang last week at the track, I took note that my spare tire was a Maxxis......I also took note of how light the wheel/tire combo was.....Time to grab a second one and mount them both up front :evilgrin: Quote Selected
got me some new tires Reply #19 – May 02, 2011, 11:26:29 AM Those things will fit? The 275/50/15s look like they will rub with a hard launch! It will look badass if they do work. Quote Selected

Weld makes the Draglites in 15X10 with a 6.5" backspace and 15X9 with a 5.5" backspace.I have a 255 60-15 on the stock 10 holes and would rather that size tire be on an 8 inch wide wheel. I would think that a 9 inch would be ideal for 275's.FWIW, if you're rubbing on a hard launch, there's too much squat and not enough forward momentum.... Quote Selected
