Default wagon wheels on a TA for drags

Will these fit on my TA? I've search and I think they will but I actually want to run the 17x8.5 on the rear with a 275 drag radial. Can I do this? Will it fit? Thanks

what the heck are you talking about? what wagon are you referring to? are the a 4.75 bolt pattern? what size and back spacing are they? that's the only way to tell, other than trying them on.

later,
Dave

it will fit (rim) I just had a 17x8.5 in the back as a temp while I got my tire fixed.. 275 might be a little too big.. the 245's that come on stock are a pretty good size. why are you going to run these vs. something else.. stock 17x9's? just curious

just saw a good deal on them locally and thought I could pick them up to throw my drag tires on. I can't find another pair of stock 17x9s or I would do that.

They will fit.

275/40/17 DR fits fine on them too, that's what I used to run. Or you can run 295/35/18 BFG DR on the 18x9.5 rears (I currently run these).
