finding tires
 

Just signed up here, live in alberta canada. What are some suggestions for tires that will fit on the stock rims of my 84 gn, currently have 275-50-15s BFG t/a on but cant get them up here they are all on back order for months. IM Close enough to run to Montana to pick some up, its a regular driver for 4-5 months in the summer but want to street drag it on some weekends. Just dynod at 330 at the rears @ 14 lbs of boost but have boost controller and can go up from there.
seriously cant find any 275s up here i could fit 285s does anyone make them??? but i think 295s are going to rub on the inside. ALL info on Brands/sizes/dealers would be greatly appreciated, feel free to email me! Thanks all

The BFGs in that size have not been produced in many years. And not much available as a street radial in that size anymore.

To get that size in a nice, non-drag radial tire I would recommend the Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R. They have several widths in a 26" tall tire. All depends on what rims you have to get a good fitment.

So with my 275's on the stock aluminum 84 rims i can prob go a total of 1/2 inch wider in total width without frame notching or fender rolling, back to the internet to do some searching. thanks

I would not recommend a tire that wide on a 7" wheel. You will wear the centers out, and it can come off the rim since the sides will balloon out. :nono:

Go online to Tire Rack, enter the tire size you want and up pops what's currently available. You may buy wherever you wish, but the site provides good info.

P245/60R15 are available for the rear and lots of P215/65R15 for the front.

While 245/60 will fit on stock wheels, they'll be a little taller than stock. (Albeit, not much.) A 235/60 is a very good match.
