Yes plz. even if they wont bolt up cause up backspace i want an idea of if there is any chance of a 28" tire fitting in there. ---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ---------- > [@Jack](#): > > You could try mine too. 295/45/17 Id like 15" as im most certain ill hook up better on my 26" et drags. But for shits and giggles id try a similar sized radial. Hell ill make a pass on yours too if ya dont mind. Might as well test em out. Track wed? Anyone want to go?
