Default Tire fitment question

you guys would know. Do you think a 235/60/15 will fit under a stock front end? This is using a 15x6.5 wheel, 35mm offset. Car is a EG. Thanks!

I hope you mean something with a smaller sidewall... those tires are ALMOST 26" tall! A 225/60/15 is a stock Mustang tire size, at 25.6" ish height.

225/50/15 might be what you were thinking... Hybrid901 has those on his 15x7's now.

and they rub a little.
I had to raise my coilovers up to clear them and they still rub a little at full turn. My car might be 1" lower than stock now.

no, I really was thinking 235/60/15. This would be strictly for drag use only, turning is of little concern I just wanna know if they will fit and allow me at least some turning radius. Looks as though it's going to be quite tight.

sorry, too lazy to type....or even search for that matter.

mm = Motormatrix

On his street car I remember him running a pretty wide tire.

might look like a hooptie (front higher than the back).
you must have very short gearing if you're going to run meats like that.

function &gt; form

I got a different set of wheels if I want the car to look tough. But personally I think FWD's with big meats look pretty bad ***!

You would be better off with a 10" wide tire than a 9" wide for traction.

Don't think that you will be able to get that to fit in a 60 series thats a pretty tall tire. I want to buy some 26 inch slicks but i will bet money I will get custom fender flairs if i stick those on my car.
