With factory springs in the back I'm using 275/60 MT drag radials on Weld Prostars 15x8 with 4.5bs. I used a 1/2" spacer to get it right where I want, so basically its 4.0 backspacing. Fits perfectly. I also used longer studs to stay NHRA compliant. It's also safer for me with the longer stud and so I don't snap any launching hard at the track.

Yeah I'm hoping I will be fine with a spacer

 

[mebe007]

Really hoping the 275/60/15 will fit cuz she is low with the hotchkis coils

You shouldn't have any issues. If anything maybe have to trim a little on the chrome molding.

Man that looks great. i dunno for some reason mine just looks so low. looks way more than 1" lower than stock lol.

I'm running 275x60x15 Nitto's on my Monte and they are close but no issues...next time out I'm gonna go with the 50 series though. 8)

 

[79loserbluebu]

I think the 50 series actually has a bigger contact patch then the 60

 

[mebe007]

yeah thats my understanding. its 26" instead of 28" tall and the section width is generally .25 to .5" wider
