drag wheel question

One of my buddies is letting me use his drag wheels and tires the next time i go racing. The tires are 275/50/15 and the wheels are 15X8 with 4.5" backspacing. Will they bolt onto the rear and fit ok? Not sticking out to far either.

Thanks
John

They will fit perfect.

Although if they are Welds ( or possibly the other brands too) you will have to use a shanked lug nut. It's hard to describe but its much different than a stock style lug nut. Unless you have longer wheel studs...

They won’t exactly tuck in under the car, but they do fit OK:
