Slicks fittment question

I'm supposed to pick up a set of Hoosier 27.5 x 10 x 15 slicks this weekend, also came across a set of 15x8 Draglites in a 4.5 backspacing. My 89 sits at stock height in the back. Anyone know for sure if this combo will fit and not rub?


Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Slicks fittment question

Looks like i got hosed on these slicks, i looked at the size on the one and just assumed that they were a matched set..

One is a 27.5 x 10 x 15, the other is a 27.0 x 10 x 15, both are Asphalt short track tires.

I've read that they'll still work for the drag strip but the obvious problem is the size difference. Going to try to get my money back but i have a feeling i won't...
