i was looking into the bfg drag radials 250/50/15 on some 15x7 wheels on the front?. i was thinking of something smaller and cheaper for the rears but still using the 15x7 rim. the car has h&r race springs. just wanted some experience from the guys who have run/tried to run this size tire. i don't mind altering the fenders to run such a big tire, just wondering if i have to before i order them. thanks.

 

i hope that is a mistake 205/50/15 is what you need, if you plan on altering the fenders to fit some tires then go ahead and get some real slicks, i cut 1.800 60' in a full interior ex coupe with a 22-8.50-15

 

actually it was a mistake, but i meant 225, not 250. and id like to get the 225 if they will fit.

 

i've run them on eibachs and had rubbing under autocross and track conditions but not daily driving. i actually cut the inner edge of the fender into small tabs and hammered them flat and it went away.

 

would you say it was a worthy enough trade off for the better traction and having rubbing issues?

 

yes. the fender actually took a chunk out of one of my tires. where i bent the fenders in is'nt even visible.

 

what is your setup , that u cant get enough traction with 205's

 

he didnt say he had traction problem, he was just wondering if he can run those tires on his rims =/

 

he hasnt bought them yet , imo why get a bigger heavier tire if you dont need it and might have rubbing issues

 

umm 300 whp? once the block is built the sky is the limit.

 

and i think, because im lowered as low as i am, ill just wait to get some slicks and just run 205/50/15 for now.
