Anyone running 275/60/15 drag radials on the stock GN rim? Currently have 275/50/15 Nitto 555's on the stock GN wheels with no problems, but would like a taller tire. Thanks

I know it will work on stock T-Type wheels but what about the GN wheel. I think there is a slight difference in backspace?

8 in wheels
I guess these are the 8 in G body wheels with the 4 in back space?

They look great thanks for the pics!

No, they're 50's. The main thing as far as fitment is the width. 275 is as wide as you can go without modifications
Thanks for the compliments

Just finished putting on the new Pro Stars with MT 275/60's. 3.5" BS fits perfect. I'll post pics tomorrow.
