Default BS street lites from dragwheelz

I just installed my wheel tires but they hit the bump stops for the rear end. Is there an easy fix for this problem? Or did they send me the wrong tires.

I am assuming you have the 15x10 with the 7.5 inch backspacing? If so you need to remove the bumpstop. Mine was gone when I got the car and I have the 15x10 with no issue.

I have 15x10 7.5 backspace weld RT wheels with 325 drag radials and mine don't rub. They will if I jack the car up, put jackstands under the chassis, and let the rear end fall. But when I jack it up I always put stands under the rear, or remove the rims before dropping the rear.

That's right.

To the OP, try doing that, I bet they will fit just fine if you jack up the rear and not the body.

I had to cut the bumpstop as well with mine.


FWIW: I'm running a 27x11.5 Hoosier
