New Tire rim combo Well I finally found some Rear GW to match my fronts, also got new tires for out back. The old 275/50-15 MT Drs on prostars werent cutting it on my M6.
These 27x10.5 Hoosier QTPs should work much better. I hope to pop them on tonight and Ill get some more pics

Yeah tell me about the radials not working with an M6 
You read my mind, Mike. I'm putting the same type of tire on my car too now that the shootout is over. I was running a 295/45 17 at the ltxshootout, which is 27.2" tall.
I'm betting the 27" bias ply tire will do wonders for both of our cars
Hopefully next year they'll allow bias-ply tires for at least the M6 cars in our class, if so you and I should be some good racin once again!

It will be awesome racing if they do!!I have one rim almost on. Its just barely rubbing now but it got too late to keep grinding last night.
Does NOT look like the bumper or rocker need any mods/cutting BFH etc with the 27"s on my Formula( camaro may be different) has an 1"+ front and rear and is centered just fine with NON Adj LCAs
Still need to double check clearance on the back side of the tire to the wheel well and get rid of the bump stops..

Got one on looks killer and clears the wheel well fine!! Just lots of grinding on the caliper but it still looks plenty strong. Ill get pics up when I finish it off.
