Is this odd tire wear for drag radials?

^^^^^ and don't do the burn out in the water box. Go into the box, spin them, come out and then smoke the tires.

i bought 27/50/15 but they rubbed on the inner fender well along with the outer fender well and it basicly destroyed the tires. Im going to cut the outer lip next year and get the fenders repainted because i know the paint will crack

I've got 275's on my 85 and have a 1/4 spacer so they don't rub on inner and a panhard bar so it stays where it is and no more issues and never any outer lip rub, your backspacing must be off??
