They will work with 275/50 and 275/60 and not stick out bad at all. But when you put the 325/50's on they will stick out. I had them on a 98 Camaro with 275/50-60's and it wasn't bad at all. If you plan on running a bigger tire, get the ones with 7.5 backspace.

My friend has some. He was running the 275/50s. They stuck out about an inch or so beyond the fenders. Now with his 9 inch he ordered it narrowed 2 inches per side with some 28x10.5 et drags it tucks them nicely, but rub some. I'm guessing you're getting a good deal on the 6.5s to be asking this question. I'd just wait and get some 7.5s or if you plan on getting a new rear soon you can order it narrowed some.

Im running 7.5" BS and the tires tuck inside the fender. No tire sticking out = less rubber on the paint.

I would post the ones of mine but I am not sure how to resize them. I will see what I can do to get them posted.

Go to imageshack and upload them. They have a resize option on the same screen.

I drove my car pretty hard and didn't have a problem with them scrubbing. Mine had stock springs with the hose mod and QA-1's. If you don't plan on running 325's you should not have a problem.

What suspension do you have in the rear? Anything adjustable?

I posted some pictures of mine after i put the 275/60/15 MT drag radials on the car. Do a search under my name and it should come up with pictures for you. I have 15x10 Weld Pro Stars with 6.5 inch backspaceing,Ford 9" without spacers on the calipers.


Quick Reply: Anyone running 15x10 prostars with 6.5" bs?
