Will 275/60/15's fit rear wells without modification?
I got a 91 Ta and am wanting to put 275/60/15's on the back... I got monroe max air shocks on the rear and I can pump em up to about 2.5 inches of lift...if I did so with the tires on would there be any chance of them rubbing?

Depending in the wheels width & backspacing, they'll fit fine. Otherwise, they'll rub. Depends on the wheels.

Its all about the "back spacing" of the wheel that is going to determine if it will fit "within" the well without either rubbing the inside or outer lip.I did some searching and found at Summit Racing that wheel and it looks as if its only offered in a 3.75 BS and a 4.75 BS. I made the mistake of ordering my rear wheels in a 3.75 BS and have had problems with the 295/50r15s rubbing the outer lip. I say 4.75 BS is the way to go but maybe some of the other guys on this site can verify that is correct.Here's a link to Summit Racing =

I'm also looking in to buy summit wheels and would like to know the bs for the wheels. If some one could help that'll be great.
I'm in the market for 15x9 to fit a 275 tire on. Backspacing: ?
