lol! man i had a hell of a time putting 275's on a 8inch rim
actually my dad and i mounted them without a tire machine on the garage floor too, put some soap around the edges of the rim, and popped the tire on, seated the bead with an air hose and was all set. dunno why you had such a hard time..

Well guys I was wondering is it safe to run 110 octane race gas in a stock 1989 GT? Long story short i have a 55 gallon drum of race gas left in the garage because i hurt the motor in my race car, and it is down for the year. I hate to waste all the gas, so i was wondering if i could just put it in the 5.0 and put it to good use?
Is this the car w/ the 315's on an 8" rim that runs 10's??

i have 315s on a 8 inch rim, they handle 10 second passes with no problems.
its the camaro yes.

My buddy put it in his stock lt1 firebird and it started backfiring out the intake when he floored it. I'd say go for it and make sure you take a video camera.
