Default Anyone use the 27" et streets have some ?'s

Ive done a search and nothing came up. I am wondering if the 27 10.5 15's have any problems rubing on the bumper and quarter like the 28's do. I realize they grow about an inch but I wanted to know from personal experience's. Thanks.

I have 27x10.5x15 MT's on my Convo Pros. I run stock springs/shocks right now & am not lowered. didn't have a single issue. Actually fills the wheel well very nicely. But I also have a bird which has wider fenders too.

You could run 27" ET Streets. Camaros oddly enough are hit and miss with larger tires, unlike the Firebirds. I am running 26x11.5x15 tires and as you can see the 27" could fit in the wheel well. If someone offered a 27" front street runner, I would change to 27" on the rear.

No one is running these on a camaro? I realy dont want to spend 400 dollars to find out that they dont fit, but it looks like I may have to.

27x11.5's fit perfectly fine without issues on our Bogart wheels if we set them up for your car. I'm not sure what you're running or what backspace your wheels are set so your results may vary.

You're welcome. They should fit. Assuming the wheel is probably an 8" wide wheel based on the backspace you mentioned. If I built an 8" wheel though, we'd set them at 6" of backspace. I don't believe you have that option with weld. I believe you'd still be ok.

ive got bogarts like the ones mentioned above with 27.4 inch drag radials, they hit at first but i backed the adj lower arms up a little ( like 1.5 turns, not a noticeable amount) and they didn't hit, then i took a bfh to where they were hitting just to make sure.

Hoosier QTP 27x11.5x15, no problem at all with the diameter, but because of the width I had to cut off the bump stops and do some bfh work.
