Re: 1990 rs stock to drag radial question

Here's a few tires to chose from and should be able to order most of them from a tire shop. http://www.summitracing.com/search/d...5%2B4294897162



A 295/50r15 is a very wide tire. I made the mistake of putting a set on my car a long time ago. Lesion learned.
Any way here's what they looked like with the wrong BS and wheel width.
The top would rub the outside of the wheel well because they were out a inch.
What Im trying to say is I should have had at least a 9in. wide wheel with around 5.5 / 6 in BS. Even then they might not fit.



I now run the Mickey Thompson S/T's in 255/60r15 and that's the size that's prefect for my rear 8x15 wheels.
Here's a photo of the 295/50r15s on the rear then the 255/60r15 rears with 235/60r15s front.
