I just purchased a set of BFG Drag radials in the size 275/60/r15 and was wondering what they look like on somebody elses car. Once I mount these I can't return them, so I was hoping for some pics before I mount them. I have 235/60/r15's on the car now and have 2 inches or more before I hit the wheelwell opening. These should fit fine right????

you'll need 15x8 or 8.5's with 4-4.5" B.S.

I sent an email to you personally, but I will also respond to the forum.

I have my 275/60 drag radials mounted on 15x8 rims with 4.5" backspacing. There is about 3/8 inch clearance on the inside and with trimmed fender lips, reasonable clearance on the outside. I have about 1 inch of clearance when looking from the side (top of tire to fender lip), but am running fairly stiff springs. The tires have a diameter of a bit over 27 inches, which is 1" taller than your 235/60s. This means that your side gap will now be 1.5 inches, which if the the springs are reasonably stiff, should be OK. I do get some minor rubbing on the fender lip during hard cornering, but I attribute this to the fact that the drag radials do not have a very stiff side-wall.
