Default 325/50/15 MT Street radials are on...

Running 10" prostars. 7.5 BS and a small spacer w/racing lugs and all that jazz.
Tires actually fit on the car with a hair of clearance left. So I did some minor adjusting to the inner fenderwell for safety. They would fit without the spacers no problem and I may go that route some day If I decide to finish grinding on the caliper. Ill get much better pics in the next day or two. Bad weather, and dark outside = Dirty car and crappy pics sorry....




UPDATE pic Snapped this today at lunch

Hopeing I can hook on a drag radial. I run mid 10's on slicks and I want to do the same with this drag radial. Well I hope to after the drag bar and shocks go on. We will see. If it hooks il up the spray and see what she will do on a radial tire.
Nope no 10 bolt there.

Thanks, If you notice my pics there is no licence plate. I havent even had this car long enough to put plates on it.
I do daily drive it in the form it's in. Spool and all. But on the other hand I live like a mile from work literally and it's a 35mph zone. LOL

that rim looks too small for that tire, anyone else see how much the sidewall is ballooned out?

The tires are made for a 10" wheel. And were measured on a 10" rim per MT. The sidewalls do balloon out. But that is more in how they were made. They have a 11" contact patch, but on the other hand a 13" sidewall (overall width)

Depends on what you mean there. If I did not clearance the inner fenderwell for safety as I put it, I do think they would have rubbed. They were all but touching just sitting there. But other than literally about 2 min per side of clearance work they fit fine.
I did not have to take off the bump stops or anything like that.

When you say clearance work, do you mean sledge hammer work? How did you do it?

Also, are you at stock ride height or lowered?

Thanks.

Car is stock ride height. But that does not matter here. If it was lowerd the clearance would have been the same. The clearance i'm talking about is on the inner fender well/front of the tires. Like close to the lower control arm location(talking about clearanceing for width not for heigth). Im sure if you look at yours right now stock or not that is the closest part of te tire to the fenderwell. Well with these tires being 28 inches tall and 13+ inches wide they are huge. They mounted right up. But IMO they were to close for comfort to the inner fender well. So I got a hammer. Not a monster sledge and added about 1" of clearance to the inner fenderwell. Just for the fact of cornering and flex and all. It took 5 min per side. Not like I sat out there and beat the heck out of my car. Now if you had a different wheel sorry I dont know what to tell you. Just stateing what I had to do to make mine fit. I was happy, for I was willing to get out the angle grinder to make them fit and they were no where near to neededing something like that to make them fit.
