Dose anyone here run 255/60/15 drag radial's on a 78 vette with a rally rim. I would like to know how they fit ? Do they rub? A pic would be great. Thanks in advance John.

The 255 / 60 / 15 is 27 inches tall and that's the the right size tire for the car. I have these on aftermarket steel wheels and they fit no problems. Don't know why the same size drag radial would be different?

Others on the this forum said they can get 275 60 drag radials on steel wheels if they move the E-brake cable.

That’s what my concern was the ebrake lots of slicks and drag radials vary allot in size to spite what they advertise. I have seen slicks vary as much as 1/2 an inch from one company to another. Thanks for the info
