You need the 36mm offset wheels. 50mm does hit the caliper.

They'll work but make sure they put the wheel weights on the inside of the barrel, otherwise they'll hit the caliper.

I don't run any wheel weights on my drag setup, and I drive it 60 miles one way to the dragstrip without any issues with the Hoosiers.

One my CCW's, I ran a strip of duct tape across the weights to make sure I didn't chuck one at high speeds.

The wheel width specs for 275's is 9 to 11. So yes they'll fit. How well that'd work is unknown to me.

1.60 is the average 60' for the 50 entries on the internals fast list running 10's, which is the OP's goal.

If they come in time I'll give it a shot Friday hence it is going to be 95 so I'll give it all I got hopefully clutch stays together
