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

Thats the thread that was posted like a day before you posted yours. If you want to get them to fit your going to have to beat in the inner wheel well, thats what everyone else has to do, unless you want them to stick out.

No prob. The guy in the other poast said he has 5.5 backspacing, but you said you only have 4.5 backspacing and your using a smaller tire, so you shouldn't be having any problems, I don't know
