Default 325/50-15 Hoosier DRs on Bogart 15x10 standard f-body offset

I really wanted to try to squeeze these larger Hoosier drag radials onto the car. I rolled my fenders a while ago so I was hoping that the standard bogart offset kept the wheel tucked in enough to where it wouldn't hit the fender because I wanted to try to crouch the rear of the fender over the tire... that isn't going to happen. It has a bit of room on the inside that if the standard bogart offset would have been in a tiny bit more would have worked great. Unfortunately it's not so I think I am going to have to raise the rear up a little bit to make this tire fit so that kind of sucks. I think a quarter of an inch raise in the rear should be good to go though with the rear shocks set a bit stiffer.

Also, has anybody shaved the inside hub of a bogart drag wheel with any success? I am not talking a lot because I know it will make it weaker, I am talking a couple of mms? People do this on the GTO wheels all the time because the offset is so weird.

damn I just posted about fitting a 325/15 on a 15x10 bogart and was hoping to make it work

I guess I'll have to go with a 275/15 which will probably be a stretch on a 10" wheel

We can build the wheels a few different ways. There's only so much we can do when we are trying to clear the LS1 calipers.

Give me a call on Monday, I can give you a few suggestions.

That is so sweet looking
It does need about a 1/2" more tuck.
