325/50/15's are 28" tall.... 275/60/15's are 28" tall.... except the new Pro's like I run are advertised 28.2"

this is the setup i want but since i have the TPE fenders im wondering if i should go with the 6.5 back spacing on a 15x10 or 7.5 on a 15x11.


here is my current setup on a 16x10 with 7.25 back spacing. anyone want to buy them? lol

Are you selling the whole set? Probably a little out of my range but.... I am curious.

Bogarts are not supposed to be street driven are they?

LOL. Did you see my carnage? No wonder it was having issues after my best pass on Sat:



Had a couple friends watching close and said that I was spinning the 345/35/18's on the hit and also I could feel it haze the tires near the top of 3rd. Also knowing the car has a lot more in it before I even turn the bottle on, its time to just take the plunge and make it work. Its getting 15's, PFadt c/overs and other small stuff. My car will be running 180+ next year.

Thanks Rodney! I was just checking out M/T's website. For some reason I was sure the 275's were only 27" tall.


You wouldn't happen to know what offset I need to run the 18x9 RTS' on the front do ya?

Sorry can't help you on the fronts.... I can tell you, I have run every combination you can think of from 28x10.5S slicks, Hoosier DR's, Hoosier QT pro's, MT DR's, M&H DR's, etc.... and NOTHING compares to the new M/T 275 Pro's... unbelievible tire !

going to upgrade to these after the new year. rodney, with my fenders do you recommend 15x10 with 7.5 with bs, 15x10 6.5 bs, or 15x11 with 7.5 bs? also, are you a vendor for the wheels and would you ship them to champion for the outer beadlock? jmuck, sorry for the hijack.

How good Rodney ?? Good enough to go sub 1.45 with a manual ??

Anyone have (the new) MT 275 experience with a manual (diaphragm clutch) ??

Thanks...........
