bfg 325/50/15 drag radials

Does anyone have these? Will they fit a 4th gen without modification to the wheel well? They are 27.9 inches tall. Or would it be better just to go with 275's which are 26". Thanks

They fit very good, u will need to do a little hamering on the inside finderwells not noticable at all. Im also using a rear Eibach Pro kit springs drop of 1 1/5" no rubbing on the outer finder lips at all but i do have them rolled a little. But in conclusion they will fit with very little modifications.

I have some pics of mine i can email

i've got mine on 15x10 prostars with 7.5 BS. I had to due some hammering in the inner wheel well. I also cut out the bumpstop and bracket. under hard launch one side rubs due to the fact that my rear end isnt centered. an adjustable panhard bar will solve that. these tires look BAD ***!!!!!

That looks great!

onebad96T/A, did you have to use adjustable LCA's to center the wheel in the wheel well? Besides the mods you already mentioned, did you have to trim the bottom of the wheel wells at all?

Thanks!

I am not using adjustible LCA's at all, and i have heard that i would need them to center the wheel but the wheel looks fine to me.

I didnt trim any of the wheel wells i did roll the outer lip a little and had to use a hammer on the inside but thats it no major modifications at all, and dont forget im running a Eibach Pro kit in the rear as well.

Im not 100% sure if the tires would not rub on a hard launch at the track, but every day driving and some street racing the tires work fine

Im going to take some more pics with the tires off

Thanks man. I may have to use adjustable LCA's because my tires are not centered in the wells. Maybe they changed something by '96. I know a guy with a '94 Z and his are not center either. Well, they are now because he bought adjustable LCA's

I have a set on 15x10 weld xp's with 6.5 back spacing, they fit perfect, small trimming required on lower front fenderlip, and I will cut the bumpstop off. fit very well.
