I want to see some 275/60/15 DRAG RADIALS on 10" wide rims - stock frame, no notch. Anyone here got that setup?

Me!...That my exact setup for my street wheels/tires. I have some Good Year Eagles II 275-60-15's mounted on Billet Specialties "Street Lites" 10'x15"s with a rear spacing of 4.5". The tire's sidewall is close to the frame, about 1/2", (stock, NO notch!), but doesn't rub at all. :wink:I want to see some 275/60/15 DRAG RADIALS on 10" wide rims - stock frame, no notch.

The 15x10 works best with 4 3/4 backspace. A 15x8 is best with 4 inch backspace.
See?...You got your answer! (You need 3 1/2" for that size wheel)...:redface:toomanymods said:For the record, I had some 15x8's with 4 1/2 backspace sitting around and I decided to mock them up. They fit fine without rubbing, but they only had BFG 245/60's on them and there is minimal sidewall bulge past the rim. If they were 275/60's they would of rubbed on the inside (due to more sidewall bulging past the rim).
Thanks John. That looks really good. Are you on stock springs? It looks slightly lower. I really like that look.
You are incorrect, sir. Every car is different, so what rubs on yours may not rub on someone elses. These are measurements that I've tried on my car and may or may not work on yours or someone elses. Also, read the above posts, they're running 15x10 with 4 3/4 backspace (5 inch with 1/4 spacer).
I'm currently running 4 inch backspace with no rubbing on the inside.
I was at a car show recently, and a gentlemen was running 15x8 with 3 1/2 backspace with 275/50's. I measured his clearance between the tire and the frame and it was around 1 1/4 inches. He easily could of ran 4 inches of backspace, or even 4 1/4 without rubbing.
