Anyone running the MT Drag Radials on a 15x8...

[NCTURBOS]

Anyone running the MT Drag Radial (not the ET Street) on their 15x8 wheels??

I have some 15x8 with a 4" backspacing... Will the 325/50/15 MT tires fit on these rims? The 1/4 lips have been cut and rolled, the frame has not been notched.

I'm not looking to have these for track use (I already have slicks for that), but more for cruising the streets on weekends.

Any photos of either the 325/50/15, 275/50/15, 275/60/15 on cars???


TIA,

Keith

I'd say no, maybe with a spacer. You're gunna be tight on the rails.

yes I have a spacer behind them, until I notch the frame.

Yes, 275/60 MT DRs on 15x8 4" bs Centerlines. They tuck up under real nice and I do have a cut rear fender lip, no frame notch and plenty of clearance on the inside. It looks nice if you go with a taller 27" front tire like a 205/75 on a 6" rim. Couple pics on my website, but may not show it well, although a great looking setup.

Thanks for the reply's guys, I appreciate it!!

I'm still wondering though if anyone has tried the 325/50/15 tires. If so, what size rim and backspacing?? Frame notch??

10" wheel... That is a big tire.. about 13.0" wide

In the past I've run the 28x10.5 ET Drag part#3055 on my stock 15x7" T-wheels with no problems other than a small spacer to get it away from the frame. I know it isn't ideal for traction but... That slick according to M/T recommends a 10" wheel to go with its 11.7" sidewall width.

Do you think I can "get away with" 325/50/15 on my 15x8" rim with the tire having a 13" sidewall width. Kind of a similar scenario to what I mention above, again not ideal but... will it work IYHO??

Only problem is it looks like they are on backwards. But looks sweet anyway
