What wheel are you running?

16inch weld prostars

someday

but what width? should be on a 9" to 10"... also, its 27.6" tall, (2" taller than stock) so it will throw off ur speedo/ABS/gear ratio...

thay are 16x8, in the mickey thompson book it says that the new drag radial size 295/50/r16 approved rim width is 8-10 inch. yea my speedo and gears are setup in the comp. for 275/55/16 being i have mh racemasters on there now.

I would think they would fit..I have a 28in tire 325/50/15 and its tight but A LOT bigger than the 295s. If anything youll have to do a little hammering to the wheel wells..

If they are 16x8 weld prostars the 295/50/16 will fit. youll need to do a lil hammering thats about it not too much. I ran BF Goodrichs radials TA on my stock 16x8 z28 wheels. I didnt know I was loosing alot of gear. I have 2.73 gears and when I mounted those on without me knowing till I found out later I had 2.34 gears lol but yea long story short, they will fit.

awesome thanks everyone for the info. so yous are saying i will have hammer the inside of the fenderwell? or are we talking about the fender lip?

Mr.z/28

Inside the fenders... youll see. if you have them already mounted on the rim, mount both of them on and run it a bit, example around the block so that they can rub on something and then youll be able to see where to hammer it in.

Hey Man. I found a pic.
The baby blue would be the areas where you would have to BFH.
That was the only area I BFH on mine.
You can also try adding a 1/4 spacer for more clearance. =]
I had em, no proplem here.

The night I first mounted my 295s the ride home they were rubbing.
next morning took them off saw where it was rubbing, Hammered it in =]
mount them on, ride around the block like two times and start hammering.
