Default MT Drag Radial 325-50-15 2000 WS6

If anybody wants to know.... Will MT Drag Radials 325-50-15 fit
on a 2000 WS6 with a stock rear end.. Mounted on 10" Centerlines.
The answer is yes... NO BFH, no cutting wheel, no grinding the brakes.

Adjustable LCAs would be optimal to exactly center the tire
in the wheel well. My non adjustable lakewoods are about 1"
off closer to the back of course.
No pan hard bar ajustment needed it seems to be even.

Also, if "Tuck" is a must ... you might want a smaller tire.
But these are some huge *** wide tires. They make my
26 X 10.5 X 15 MT ET Streets look like skinnies.

If the sun comes out I will take some pictures and try to post
them up when I get back to work on Monday.


Iggy!

I will find someone to host them...
The big tires threw my shifts way off.
I lost a lot of rpm in the 1/4 mile.
on 26" inch tire I used almost all of 3rd gear
by the finish line... The two inches in the tire make
a huge diffrence..

With the speed off and the final drive ratio
all out of wack... I need to make some shifting
changes for sure.

It looks like I only have 5 1/2 inch backspace... so they stick out 2 inches more.
Ill put some pictures up when I find the cord for the camera. The Convo Pro's just don't
come with that much backspace. Im sure you had to grind the brakes in the back.

Looks like they stick out pretty far. I would not say that those "tuck" in the least bit.

Even though Drag style wheels and tires are not my deal...i think that is the best i've seen them look. Good job, they look great.

My car ,with the 7.5BS wheel and the 325's, doesnt rub at all. It 60's in the mid 1.30's carrying the front tires out pretty good. Also had no issues with me,wife, and both kids in the car, over humps,in/out driveways, they havent even touched anywhere. I did roll the fender lips as a precaution two weeks after I put them on. You can jack the tires up into the fenderwell and the clear alright.I also "massaged" the front inner fender a little with a hammer!

Iggi your wheels and tires look perfect. Will put convos and m/ts on mine too just with a 2 inch shortend rear and different backspace.
