Default A "will it fit" question

I read the stick, but it was for street wheels and tires. I want to know if a Weld Draglite 15x10 with 6.5-inch backspace with Mickey Thompson 30x12.5-15 ET Streets fit in the rear. I know I may have to raise the back for some squat clearance.

30s are gonna be hard to fit, especially with 6.5" backspacing. I'll see if I can find my pics of my Prostars with 6.5" for you.

Here's a rear shot. I've got side shots at home I can post later. These are 275/50s which are 26". They are even with the fender, so with a bigger tire, you'll run into rubbing issues b/c they're not tucked inside. 28" tires usually require some work to fit with a 7.5" backspacing.

You are right, but, the QA1's up front are coil-over. You can make the height anywhere you want it to be.

And the back could be nothing, your right, but could also have the isolator removed.

In other words his car is lowered, you can tell, with springs or not.

And that tire size:

325/50/15 = 27.8" tire

So its close, but could fit without too much cutting away.

Peace,
Craig.

yep i have my car lower with springs, i need to get some kind of adj spring setup. the car needs to be about 1/2" higher in the rear. with a passenger in the car it rubs on bumps and launching. i think the springs are a 2" or 1.5" drop
