Those pics are with a 15x8" rim, mine is a deepdish draglite, so i'm assuming it is a 10"? Or 9". And my 295/50/15 have alot of room left.

+1 about whoever mentioned the control arms.

Just installed a set of these not to long ago and even these cheapies helped a lot.

i have upper and lower control arms. adjustable uppers. no quads. n the rear sway bar. i am not getting 295/55 because there bigger. im getting them because they will fill my wheel well better than my street 295/50. and hook better. 275s would look pueny with 10" rims on my car.

they wont hook better.

What control arms do you have on the car now. It actually matters.

okay. so 295/55 drag radials wont hook better than ****ty cooper 295/50 street tires? 295/55 drag tires wont hook better than 275/50 drag tires? contact path.... common ppl. too much sarcasm.. and a taller than 26" tire changes gearing.. im not retarted. i am getting 295/55/15 mt drag radials instead of 275/50/15 mt drag radials so they fill my wheel wheels better. 275/50s look peauny... and YES duh there gonna hook better than my 295/50 street tires. dont even know why i made this thread........ and there hotchkins* control arms...

its funny... because my 26x10.5x15's will out hook anything you put on your car fr one simple reason.

I actually setup my suspension geometry properly. So if you want to continue to sit here and be ignorant, be my guest. But if you want to learn something, you will shut the **** up, and listen to what I have to say.
