there are so many post in the LT1 section that has absolutely nothing to do with LT1s that I wouldn't even worry about it...

the tires are 27x8.0x15
but the sidewalls really stick out.
they are hoosiers idk if they have a tendency to do this or not, but i measured the BS on the rims and they are for sure 4.5

I have the 275/50/15 on my T/A and was wondering if I can go to the 28's with a 6.5bs. nice to know they will look good. If I had a camaro I would use 7.5.

I got my rims for an absolute steal so I am going to keep them.
