295's fit

[dynoman]

I just mounted up some 295/65/15 MT DR's , and with a frame notch , rolled lip , and careful measuring for back spacing , they fit like a glove with no room to spare !! I'm going to pull the springs out to see how much farther I can drop the body down , but it's not bad right where it's at now .

I have the 295/55-15’s on mine.

The 295/65/15's are 30.3" tall , that's what made it difficult to fit .

 

[BEATAV8]

Yes it looks killer!

 

[BEATAV8]

Is the 65 ratio fairly new? I don’t recall seeing this one before

Same here. Only get a tiny bit of rub on the right side on a very BIG speed bump.

Not sure if new , this is more of an experiment for the track . I got a great price on them barely used . worst case I sell them barely used .

Damn if I would spend the time to drop it down one bit. Your car looks killer just the way it sits. Great job!!!!

Thanks . When it's up on the lift the springs can be pulled right out because the suspension hangs so low . I would just need a shorter spring or maybe a adjustable spring perch & coil over spring . I really should put in limiter straps so it doesn't hang so low .

That looks great! The wheel well is filled up nice.

I think the limiter strap might be a good idea. Is there any way the springs could come out of the pocket unknowingly when you let it down off the lift?

The 65 is just a taller version of the 55 series mt.11.9 belly to belly,10.9 on the contact patch,95 on the rollout,30.3 tall

Your going to love that tire.more rollout,with more sidewall to take the hit.just hit it with power and you will fly.

Yes , it is possible.

15x10 , I have to check back space , can't remember if it was 4" or 4 1/2" , but my rear end is narrowed 1 1/2" each side. I'll check the specs. on the order sheet from Quick Performance on overall width when I get home .
