New Rubber for the Regal

[83Hyrbyd]

Just got some new tires for the regal.295/50/15 for the back and 215/60/15 for the front.Can't wait to get them mounted.
Almost 11inches of tread for the rears.

That's alot of tire on the back. You must be getting some custom fitting done to keep them from rubbing. i was gonna go with an offset but then you'd have to carry around two spares. can't wait to see some pics..i know its gonna look dope with that offset.

Got the tires mounted on some rally 15x7 and 15x8 finally.The rear come about quarter inch away from the frame so that was close.I had cooper cobras and they were a bit wider and rubbed the frame sometimes.

Why so big a tire on just an 8 inch? I've got those tires on my 10's haha. and you simply have to have stock backspacing on the rims, you can run huge tires they'll just stick out, but will never rub.

I might go some 15x10 cragars later on.Also I thought the 275's were to tall.

shoulda went 235 up front

You mean 275/60s being too tall as I have 275/50s on my GN. I had 275/60s on my 442 and liked them better for my gearing and for on a car that is not lowered. The 60 series drag radials also seem to bite better and be more consistent than the 50s. I'm with Peter on the 235/60s up front but it doesn't make much difference unless you like her to corner better or want to keep the factory ground clearance. Depends on how much rake you want also.

Yeah I know the 235's would have looked better, I had 235's on it before in my old pictures.I got a really good deal on the front tires, I'll get 235's later on.Got new shocks all the way around to.Last ones were so bad I'd hit a bump and it would bottom out at like 25mph. haha
