295/55/15 drag radial users please enter.

Can you display pictures and what your current rear end set up is with rim width and backspace please. I am thinking of going with this tire and would like to see a few pics if possible.

Thank you

I run that tire on my car, rear is narrowed 2.5" wheels are 5.5" backspace for a 1/2" tuck. Mine is lowered so it's really tight on the inside with this set up, I had a small rub if I turned hard so I run a 1/4" spacer for now.

Only pic I have but I'll get some more tommorow.

No issues. When switching from my drag radial wheels, to my street tire wheels, no lug nuts were loose prior to loosening.

What setup do you have to get the car to sit like that? I have a Strange 12 bolt and want to drop it in the rear some, as it sits pretty high in back. I don't have coil overs, just strange adjustable shocks and anti roll bar with solid suspension. Currently have a 325/50, but I know it'll be pushing it to run with the back lowered anymore than am inch. Thanks, and you all have good looking cars!
