Default 275/50 15 drag radials?

Will these fit with a 15x8 weld draglite 5.5 backspace and not rub? I'm pretty sure they do but wanted to check. I already have the wheels and am about to order tires. Looks like discount tire direct has the best price. Anyone seen better than 280 shipped for a pair?

I run 275/60-15 on Centerline Convo Pros with no problems. Both tires call for a 7-11 inch wheel.

They will fit a 15 x 8 rim just fine..I have mine mounted on 15 x 10's with a 7.5" backspaced rim..I'm also not running spacers so that puts the rim in slightly more..Also go to your local Wal-Mart and price BFG's there..I buy mine locally and pay a little over $125.00 a peice and don't have to pay shipping on them.. <img src="http://www.soslow.cz28.com/slide_shows/Trans_Am_Pictures/PB240013.jpg" alt=" - " />

Thanks for the help and the pic. I like the way they look on the car. I'm just planning on getting a set of them for driving around. I'm not looking for all out traction, just something good for the street and with no chance of rubbing. I'll get some slicks for my Camaro after I swap motors. I actually bought a set of drag radials for my Nova from walmart. But it was a major hassle dealing with the idiots behind the counter around here. I'll probably just pay the shipping to avoid the hassle.
