275/50/15's on stock 7'' with 1'' drop? fit?
Anyone ever run this combo? think it would work? if not what would hit/rub? I would go narrower but I want nittos on my 15'' wheels and they only sizes I can find are 205 and 275 for 15''.
Thanks
Thanks

Alan, I have 275/50R15 drag radials on the back of mine which are slightly wider than regular 275's. I also have them on a 10in rim. You should be just fine with your combination.

275/50's on 7 inch wheels aren't going to work very well. 7 inches isn't wide enough and will distort the tire resulting in decreased traction. You would probably have just as much/or more traction with 235/60's on those 7 inch wheels.
