Arrow 315-60 on a 98 camaro

Anybody know if you have to trim the quarter and the bumper cover? Tire will be tucked inside the wheel well.

How may inch is your lift kit? That's going to be too tall of a tire with a 60 series profile.

That tire height (29.88") even on a 15" diameter wheel will likely cause clearance issues.

and they're right. That sidewall is gonna be huge. Like other have said, we need more info. With a 15inch wheel for drag racing, that's still a tall tire...with anything bigger than 15inch wheel and you're going off-roading.

I would have to say Yes, some trimming of the bumper cover and front fender lip will be necessary. I have 325/50/15 on my Camaro which isn't mini tubbed and they take up every bit of room possible, I had to trim the bumper cover and front lip. I only have about 1/2" clearance around the tire between fender and bumper cover. 315/60 is about 2" larger in diameter than the 28" 325's I have.

Then maybe someone could tell you if it could fit.

Also, what do you need a 30" tire for? Are you pushing in excess of 1000rwhp or running a 4.88 gear or something? And why a drag radial. A 28" bias ply will hold more power.
Again, not trying to be a smart *** but did you read the title?

Mini tub kit by Wolfe or racecraft, offset lca, 15x10 5.5bs, narrow rear by 3" on each side and lower the car over the tire as desired. Obviously an adj pan hard bar or wishbone will get you there.

315/60 DR on a 98 camaro all day.

Truck tire? Wtf

Bias ply 28 holding more power? Wtf? 1000 rwhp or 4.88 gear? Seriously? That's the reason you think someone wants a 315 radial?

You guys need to stop giving advice. Esp the Florida moderator.

Oh and those tires look better on a 12" wide wheel. So if wanted adjust back spacing. And if you want to tuck it in even more than narrow more but at more than 3" off each axle you need to relocate lca mounting points.
