Picked them up, they are in beautiful shape. Only thing is they arn't radials, just 26x11.5x15's. What's the difference?

 

well thats a bit wide.... my car has the eibach lowering springs and i cannot run those tires

the rubbed hard on turns and just with people in the back.

not radial just means they are old skool... bias-ply

try them out but you should run all 4 bias-ply or all 4 radial, you'll notice the handling diff..... the front will be stiffer and the back will be loose

you'll definitely have to dump the quads or reverse them at the least... also might need some spacers. my buddy ran the 11.5's with spacers and was ok, i'm also assuming you have 5.5" BS on the welds... they should be

they look really good though, worst case scenario is trade the tires for a set of 26 X 10.5's

be careful if you pull the tires.... do have tubes ? if they are good tubes they are about $50 each by themselves... and the rim will have to have been drilled out for them.

you'll see a plastic round hold down nut on the valve stem... and if they have been drilled... they always need to use tubes cuz the hole will be too big now for tubeless

 

there 275/50/15`s instead of the 60s i think sounds like it! just less side wall is all and its about 2.2 in shorter tire!

 

Ill jack the car up and see if the quad shocks have been removed. Who knows, maybe they have. It has eibach drag launch springs in it, so I'm assuming it's had slicks on it at one point. Maybe i'll be lucky.

 

Jacked the carp up and went to put the wheel on, only to find out that my stud's arn't long enough for these wheels. It fits in their fine though, decent amount of clearence all the way around. Not sure if this would change when there is weight on it? I couldn't set it down. I think I'll just have good year replace the studs with longer ones since I have to bring it over there anyway to dismount and mount some tires.

 

When you bought the wheels, did the person give you special lug nuts for them? If you do not have the long shank lugs, you should NOT even TRY to mount the wheels

 

No, no lug nuts. CAn I get them at an auto parts store?

 

Ive never had one problem with shaking or swaying with my bias ply et streets i did once at the track feel sway on the top end but that was because I had the air pressure at 8.5psi I know run them at 15-18 and still have never had any sway nice tires though man

 

Call the guy back up and ask for the lug nuts.

You can also find them here, just pick which one you need.
