I have 275-50-15 BFG Radial T/A's on my back turbo t wheels....
can I have the 275-50-15 nitto drag radials?
I would think that the drag radials would bulgde more
The 275/50 Nittos are actually a little smaller than the BFG's. If the BFG's fit, The Nittos should fit fine. Drag radial is just the tires compound and tread pattern. They are still relatively the same shape as a regular radial.
Anyone know where you can get the 8.5" Ttype look alike rims, do thay still make them. Mike
The 8.5" 'look a like' T wheels are the old American Racing 'Vector' wheels. For more info, check out:
http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pictureguides/wheels/twheels.html They haven't been made for quite some time. If you want some, you'll have to find someone who's got them. Note that they were not all made with the correct bolt pattern.
To go back to the original topic...I personally wouldn't put a 275/50 on a 15x7" T rim. I just think it would baloon the sidewalls more than I'd like, particularly with a 'race' tire. Just personal preference. I run 275/50 BFG Radial/TAs on some of the 8.5" Vector wheels for the street and they fit very nicely.
