295 (28inch) Mickey T. on a stock pony car rim....will that fit? I do not have quad shocks...

WhiteMamba · November 9th, 2010, 03:39 PM

and i searched every dam thread...what is the real answer...everyone has an opinion but has anyone tried this?

StangBanger302 · November 9th, 2010, 03:41 PM

No. Ponys are 7 inches wide. You can't put an 11.6 inch tire on that. The biggest effective tire on a pony is a 235. You just payed a lot of money for that turbo of yours, just buy two 9 inch wheels and put those desired 295s on. Why 295s anyway? That seems like a random number. More common is a 275.

WhiteMamba · November 9th, 2010, 03:44 PM

i thought ponys were 7.5??? what is the biggest and widest mickey i should get?

I'm sure your car can be setup to run on that tire too, if you're doubting that size. A guy I know ran 8.0X's on a 275 DR.

WhiteMamba · November 9th, 2010, 03:57 PM

my only question is will they fit without any issues...I need to know cause I already ordered them and have 30 minutes to change the tire...lol

I really need a taller tire so I can get a few more mph out of 4th gear, but i need a sticky tire too...

what would be best that would fit my pony car 4 lug rim and be taller and sticky??

a friend of mine has those tires on his fox the rear is stock height and the inners are "massaged" and the fender lips are cut off not just rolled and they dont rub

Will they fit without rolling or massaging?

no. not at all. You dont need such a wide tire, its not going to help you at all.

As yourself this... Why wold my 500hp car need a tire thats damn near a 12" section width, when 700-900hp cars are running 8's on 10.5" wide tires.

Ever heard of Outlaw 10.5? Get some 275/60/15's and call it a day.

yes, that means you should get rid of the pony's (they are too heavy anyway)

I agree. Just cant find a 255 in a 27-28 inch size. I switched my order to the 255 26inch et streets.

My problem is my rear gear (373). I barely top out 4th at the end of the 1/4 and a slightly taller tire would fix that problem.

Trying to solve it by not replacing the rear gear.

93hatch · November 9th, 2010, 09:36 PM

Niggha get some stock 10 holes and slap a slick on them. People throw those wheels away

Outlaw 10.5.. They run 10.5W which is a 12inch wide tire but it is also 33 inches tall, nothing even close to what you could run on a stock suspension mustang. Not to mention 2500+ horsepower..

Right now in the extreme 275 class, there are people running low 7's in the 1/4 on 275/60-15 Mickey Thompson drag radials. I have that same sizr tire on my car and my car is lowered a few inches, but I had to roll the fenders and massage the inner fender some. I run 295/50-15 street tires with noe problems..

WhiteMamba · November 11th, 2010, 03:42 PM

well I got the 255/50R16 ET street radials...they are hooking up on the street!!!! and they look sick! 11 inches wide compared the 9 inches wide of the Nitto.

thanks for the advice guys...rear gear soon (327) and that will solve most of my track problems.
