BFG Drag Radial on a stock GN rim

[gmturbo]

I tried to mount a P275-60-15 bfg drag radial on
the stock rim. It rubs on the rear frame rail. Are there
any suggestions on what to do? I still want to use
the stock rim for stock appearances....

I had the same problem. I put wheel spaces on. The passinger side rubs a little when I make a hard left turn just a bit.

what kind of spacers and who sells em?

I got mine through Summit. I went with the 7/32". You may want to go with the 5/16". The PN# for the 7/32" is MRG-2370, and the 5/16" is MRG-2371. They are $10.95 and $11.95 respectivly.

My rear is off center a little. you might not have rubbing with the thinner ones. But then again.

They are in the wheel section if you have a catalog.

you could also try aluminum drums.

Spacers

For a daily driver I would go for the aluminum drums as stated. Those spacers if universal do no fit quite right. I used the spacers at the track but also have to check to make sure the lug nuts don't loosen up! Hope this helps!

spacers work fine you may want to get longer studs depends on the size spacer stay with the smallest possible spacer around a 1/4 in. jegs sells the correct ones.
