I have 275/60/15's on mine and we had to trim the fender well lips to make 'em fit. 4.5 back space.

I'm using BFG 275/60/15 drag radials with stock GN wheels. The fit is close but, it fits without rubbing. These tires are 28" tall. I have noticed that all of these cars are a little different in the way they were put together so, a tire that fits on one car might not fit the same on another. I had this problem between my '86 GN and my '87 GN.

Those look good. 15x10 wheels with 4 1/2 backspace I'm guessing? No frame notch?

the 295-55-15 mt drag radial is 27.8 in tall,275-60-15 is 28.0.im running the 295 on 8 inch rim and it fits great with 1.52 60fts off the footbrake.i have also ran 295-60 series drag radial that is just shy of 30inches tall but car must have air bags at 25psi all the time.

Ill look into the 295/60 and see what it takes to fit them. Thanks for all the help.
