Re: tallest tire 15x8 4.5'' backspacing ?pic?

here's a pic of my car with a 275/60/15 on a mickey thompson et drag wheel 15x8 w/ 4.5" backspacing. i know for a fact that you can stick a 30x9 on that wheel too, as well as a 295/65/15 (~30x10.5) too.

car is super slammed in this pic. while nothing rubs after some friend tapping with my BFH, i don't run the car this low cause it doesn't weight transfer like i really want it to:

I really like the BFG 255/60/15. Fills up the wheel well great and doesn't kill the gear likethe 275/60/15
