Default Nitto Drag Radials mounted on my Welds! Pics

Some of you know my car is down right now due to a bad opti but on the bright side my drag radials FINALLY came in. I ended up going with the Nitto Drag Radial 275/60R15. They fill the wheelwell really nice and I dont think on the 15x10 ProStar wheel could have fit anything wider without major modifications. Ended up cutting the bump stops and the tabs off to clear these.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the comments guys! I am running the stock 3.23 10 bolt right now, but plan on going with a 9 inch in the near future. I did put ARP 3.25 inch wheel studs on the car though.

Total cost was a hair under a $1000 for the wheels from Summit, and then I paid $50 for both the front 185/65r16s and 320 for the rear Nittos, plus 50 for studs and 80 for the lugnuts.

The wheels should fit on your car, but you will have to grind alot more than I did since the LT1 brakes are smaller.
