tire and wheel question

sonicblue · October 12th, 2007, 06:36 AM

will a 275/60/15 on a 15x8 wheel fit on a 90 5.0. the car should sit a little higher after this weekend, im installing steeda drag springs and lakewood 90/10s and 50/50s in the rear and removing the back seat. im also installing lakewood traction action lift bars, not sure if that will lower it a tad. anyways will these tires fit cause i would like to order them in the next month or so. also what size tire should i run up front on a 15x3.5 wheel? thanks sorry for the stupid questions but im new to the 5.0s and not sure what will fit well, oh and i will be removing the quad shocks

sonicblue · October 12th, 2007, 07:43 AM

thanks man. i was just worried about them being a little to tall. how about the 15x10 wheels, is that when ytou start running into some rubbing?

JBIGBOOTSY · October 12th, 2007, 08:14 AM

they are 25.6 inches tall. they are fine.

sonicblue · October 12th, 2007, 08:26 AM

it says they are 28'' tall

nolife · October 12th, 2007, 08:54 AM

A 275/60/15 is 28 inches tall. I have no comment on if they would fit or not.

Speedstang302 · October 12th, 2007, 09:52 AM

yeah..i had them on mine, but lowered it and didnt fit..so i dropped to 255's..but will be taking out the BBK 3" springs and putting in something around 1-2" which 275 should fit..

Speedstang302 · October 12th, 2007, 09:53 AM

i run 165's up front and fit fine..i wanna go a little bigger..

higher? what you getting lift kit, then there not lowering springs..

sonicblue · October 12th, 2007, 09:50 PM

drag springs in a lighter than stock car will usually make it sit a tad higher.i never said i was getting lowering springs

ymerej47 · October 12th, 2007, 11:48 PM

my buddy is runnin on 245/50 with 16 rims. two inch drop in the front
and 1.5inch drop in the rear. Great stance. looks like he has no clearance
for the front tires but he has full movement without them rubbing at all.

That should answer most questions...

will 275/40/17 's fit on a 17X9 wheel

Last time I checked, 9 Inches = 228mm. I think 275's would make bubble wheels
Im personally gonna stretch a tire on my 17x9's just for the front they will rub
Im gonna try to stretch a 205 first then a 215 which I know will fit...

JBIGBOOTSY · October 12th, 2007, 11:50 PM

sorry i thought they were 50 series, 60series will give you som rubbins.
