how wide of a tire?

[BOJANGLES]

i purchased a set of 15x10 GN repro. wheels, gbody parts states its made to take a 275/60/15. i would like that size but can i go 315 wide? anyone have any pictures of a 315/60/15 on their GN?

Man that's a huge tire, i would have my doubts about it fitting.

315 is way too big. A 295/55 is the biggest that will fit depending on ride height.

Rob is correct, usually you will probably need some trimming with a 295/55.

 

[BOJANGLES]

I’d rather not do trimming, I just want enough to fill the wheel well nicely. Gbody parts says it fits a 275/60/15 , I just have s friend of mine putting a big in my ear about s bigger tire.. I’d like to know what size tires everyone is running with these repro wheels.

What did you do to fit that?

I run the 295/55 on that wheel. Clears on the inside no problem. Rubbed the lip a little on hard bumps so I put air bags in and that cured it. Recently, I rolled the rear lips so even if I let the air out, they shouldn't rub now.

i run the 315 pro radial,any 315 will not fit without work being done to the car.

great thought but in stock form its not going to happen.

Pics of the 315 pro?

 

[gnfanatic]

Who makes a pro radial?

right now its off the car.i probably have some older ones, would rather due that in a pm as its really a n/t car.car also has a 9 inch in it.

What did you do to fit it? I assume notch and wheel tubs. I can fit a 325/50 or a 295/65 with the car low enough to tuck tire. The 30" height really makes it tough, and the 295/65 is tight in the stock massaged wheel tub.

295/65 with the car low enough to tuck tire. The 30" height really makes it tough, and the 295/65 is tight in the stock massaged wheel tub.

i got that 295/65/15 i both the hoosier and mt on the stock rear in pretty good before going to the 9 inch.the hoosier is easier because its not as tall but the mt is a real 30 and pretty much fills up the well and near the frame,i had custom spacers made and ran an 8 inch rim with the right backspace to make it work,also had airbags but could take the air out if i choose.i trimmed and cut the fender also,but no notch and used the stock tubs.on my friends car we hammered the frame to get a full tuck in on the 295/60/15 but he was on a 9/10 inch rim.he ended up notching the frame and dropped back down to a 28.on my car i went to the bigger 315 pro but with a 9 inch and custom ends and the 315 pro inmo still really needs a minitub to really have a slammed stance with a full tuck in the rear but i went no faster dropping my rear down that low so i thinks its a waste for all work but some just like the look. ive run 26/28 inch tall tires on the front also but there will still be a rake.

 

[BOJANGLES]

my car has a slight rake as it is with whatever springs are on it now, so I’m assuming I should just stick with a 275/60/15, I just want to be able to bolt it up without modification. Going to run the ET street R tires. Here is what it looks like now with a 275/50/15

Not the best angle but I still have plenty of room for a taller tire. Just want the biggest I can go on this 15x10 wheel.

15x10 rear and 15x8 front

275/60/15 rear ET street R m/t
235/60/15 front cooper cobra radial GT

Not the best picture in my garage but can see a little

 

[BOJANGLES]

Fits just right in the rear and I can possibly go even lower all the way around a bit. Unsettled suspension in the current pictures. Doesent look like I’ll have any problem with rubbing. Can’t wait to see what it feels like here in a couple months.
