SLicks 2 Big :o(

K well I got a set of 15x8 Drag Lites with 4.5" back spacing and some 27x10x15 Hoosier Slicks. Tried to throw them on here today for the first time since i got the right lug nuts...theyre too big and they rub up against the side wall. 10 bolt with drums i want to know if I can cut some away no problem and get them to fit or if they are just way 2 big. If theyre 2 big what size is the biggest on a 3rd gen with a 10 bolt and drum rear. So mad right now thx a ton guys

Somebody yesterday just posted pics of a white iroc with 10.5 inch slicks on it. He had to pound in the inner wheel well with a sledge.

If you use spacers to get the wheel out a bit you should be able to get them to fit in there. I've got 9" wide on mine with standard backspacing ad theres about 1/2" clearance.

Hope that helps!
