FYI... guys looking for the biggest rear rubber you can fit on stock 7" rims.
Bought the 275/50s BFG T/As, installed them, they SQUIRM. Thats the best word I can come up with. I put a small spacer 3/8"-ish on the rear (probably didn't need it) and ran them.
My car has suspension techniques springs all the way around, new shocks (not bilsteins) and I find always found it a bit stiff. After the install of these tires, the rear end squirms on a highway. I mean it wiggles in ruts on the road, wiggles in the wind and seems to sweep to one side or another before really inspiring any confidence in a corner. I have stock sway bars and stock control arms. I'm very confident upgrades to those items will tighten it up somewhat but I can confidently say these tires don't fit right for highway commutes...but will work for town driving.
I'm kinda disappointed, but I made the decision to try them. I figure most people who run this size tire on a stock rim don't commute long distances on roads that see a lot of heavy trucks.
Just the heads up. I'll be going to an 8" rim in the future, I'll update on the progress. I think it tracks slightly better than my truck with 38" bias ply boggers. LOL. Nahh...its not near that bad.

It looks like the perfect tire fit in the rear though. I just need a bit more height to make it sit just right.
