so last night i was feeling pretty bored, and had a set of these 8inch rims laying around, with a set of these ET radials that i have, so i put a little soap on the tires, slide them on to the rim, seated the bead, aired them up and stuck em under the car. pic quality is horrible, took them at like 2am, but i was bored so decided to put them up on here. doesnt look like a lot of tire in the pics, but in person these things look huge under the stock wheel well camaro. Tires are Mickey Thomspon ET street DragRadials 315/60/15 (30x13.5-15)

That's cool and all but, you're not planning on driving on that set up are ya?

Well....it's a different story because of the size wheel and tire combo you're using. A lot of guys try to mount 315/35/17's on a 9 or 9.5 inch wheel...that's a disaster waiting to happen. The tires you used have an enourmous sidewall, so it's much easier to fit that tire on a little wheel coz of all the available tire flex.

Wow, that looks sick. You fix your tranny yet?

P.S. Better update the sig. Last I read you sold the camaro for a Mustang.

why not? the tires only call for a 9 inch rim, and i talked to a guy from mickey thompson and he said this set up is fine on a 10 or 11 second car.

thanks for the compliment. the spare tranny is in it right now (to cruise around and mainly because i want to go to the Powertrain Park & Shine show) and the other one should be getting re-done here soon. and yeah the sig needs a update, sold the 94 in favor of a 89 five liter.

thanks for the compliments guys, like i said i thought it was crazy too but m/t says its fine, and my buddy runs the same tire on the same 8 inch rim on his 10 second car. heres another pic i snapped today, they look mean on there.

Looks good, but like the guy said, your sidewall is huge, 60% opposed to the 35% people try to pull of here, on 17's. Looks almost like a truck...... or a mean Camaro!!

jerflash

the sidewall sticking that far out form the rim looks sick man...i say keep them on there

thanks man, im going to keep them on there, i just got these tires off a buddys car to see if they fit and whatnot, and im taking it to a local cruise tonight to get some more opinions, hopfully people like it, i do, and i just ordered my new set of the same size tire to mount on those rims.
