Default 27x11.5x15 tire clearance issues

I'm looking to run 27x11.5x15 hoosier qtp's on 15x10 bogarts with 7.5" backspacing and I was curious how these will clear. Will I need to trim anything? Thanks for any help.

The 27x11.5x15 Hoosier QTP's fit fine. I run them on my car with the same setup as you with no problems at all. No trimming or anything needed.

Speeddracer5532, what kind of 60's could you cut with 27x11.5 QTP?
I heard they work really good.

I`m running 27x11.5-15 QTP`s on 15x10 Centerline Warriors w/6.5" BS. My 12-bolt is narrowed 1" on ea. side also. I had to remove my bump stops and massage the inner fender near the front of the wheel well a little. Other than that they fit pretty well. They seem to be hooking alot better than the M/T 26x11.5-15`s I was using last season.

Fitment should not be an issue with how we set them up. The only issues i've seen is with the guys running ground effects.

I have only got 3 passes on them so far and the best 60 I have cut is 1.66 which I think is terrible. I was at Mason Dixon and traction at this track is terrible. I am going to MIR this Saturday which has great traction so I will let you know how it does. I am hoping for low 1.5s or high 1.4s.

I had these last year on 15x8 Bogarts. No fitment issues. Ran a 1.51 60' with an M6

I'll be going to this tire too when the 26 x 11.5 mt's I am running now are toast.. I know a couple people that have run these, and had damn good luck.. noyzee on here went 10.2 in these tires at LVD, so if they hook good there.. they will hook good anywhere!
