Arrow Instructions Needed ****

I purchased a set of rear draglites with 325/50/15 MT DRs. They are fricking huge. I want them under my car bad. But i need to know some things

1. will they fit as is?
2. Will they rub when i launch/hit bumps
3. what size backspacing
4. do i need those special lugnuts? ( i think called tapped or somthing, dunno)
5. Do i need to grind the rear caliper or anything?


Any other input is welcome! I need help. Pics of installation are a plus.

Hey Jesse, what size wheel? 15x8 should have 5.5 backspacing, 15x10 should have 7.5, you will have to grind the sheeot out of the calipers, no I do not have any spacers, yes I do have some brand new weld lugnuts that are probably what you need, (I bought them with my wheels, but with the strange brakes and 9" i am using 1/2in studs) the 325's should fit, and if you got the fronts, earl Manns bug shop has the skinny front tires you need (I think I paid 40 a tire) any other questions let me know!
