Anyone have recommendations for real drag radials?

275/50 is 26” tall. 275/60 is 28” tall. Lowered on the 275/60 will fill out the fender wells nicely. You might be able to fit a 295/50 or 55 but probably have to roll the fenders. I’ve always had a 275/50 or 60 on these cars

I run 295/55r15 and like the way they fill out the wheel well. 275s just look to damn skinny imo.

Do you have a pic of your set up?
I have a line on 295-65-15”
Did you have to modify anything?
