I am nearing the completion of my 65 2dr post drag car...Has anybody had a set of 30x9 15in drag slicks on their car? These tires are roughly 29ins tall and have an 11.6 cross section....I am a little concerned on the fit...don't really wanna do the trial and error method...thnx

I had a set of 29.5x10.5x15W m/t drags on my tubbed BU. They fit nicely with no rubbing. It looked BADASS! The fenders tucked more than half the rim! If you didn`t know the W tires have over 11 inch width but still a 10 inch tire http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif

I would say that they would fit . Also my rear frame is narrowed about 3 inches.

I am running 15x10 with 7.5 inch backspacing.

Good I was a little worried...for nostalgia super stock you have to maintain stock appearing rear...no frame or body modifications...the tires fit nicely under my 77 Nova with 4.5 backspace...was hope'n they would fit the chevelle..Thx! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by bad65ss:
