I have 275/60-15 BFGs on a 15x9.75 Bogart (close enuff). Better invest in a hammer and get pissed off about something.

I can't find anyone with this combo, so I am scrapping the idea.

The tire is rated to a 9.5" rim. Sometimes that means they will work on a 10" other times it means that it's meant for a 9". No connections at Nitto?

Larry @ LS1Speed.com has run these Nittos on 15x9.5 Bogarts but I have never seen them on his car. I wanted to see how the sidewall looked.

I am getting a set of the new M/T's so we will just try those.

I thought Shawn (SPANKY LS1) posted up pics in your other thread, or were those on a 8" rim?

In all reality, if you are looking for something that wears decently, which is why i think you want the nitto over the BFG anyways, why not just get a regular radial tire since it's not like you are really gonna hook a smaller nitto anyways?

PSJ, i think the 275 would work much better on a 8" rim im getting a extra set of 10" for the rear and want to put some 315 or 325 m/t drag radials, the 28" version i think. maby that will solve some of my street traction issues

I already had 275-60-15 MH's for street tires a few years ago, on 15x8's, here are some pics from 2002:

good luck,

Rear shot of the 275s on the Bogarts...

Some older shots from the shop...

I can probably get some better width pics now that I have the slicks on the car rather than the "street" tires.

Outlaw, is that rear end narrowed, or do those wheels just allow that much backspacing? I love how the tire is tucked into the wheel well in the rear.
