295/45/17 M/T Drag Radials

[PI96GT]

So i'm getting a set of 295 mickeys tommorow, and i'm going to be mounting them on my 9 inch 10th anniversary rims. I shouldn't have any problems right?, ive seen people put 315 nt555r's on 9 inch wheels.

my buddy had 275's on a 8in wheel

I ran 295s on my old 9.5 y2k cobra r's, but mine were 35 i think... but i had too much space, a 45 is probably proper.

I had 275/50/15's on 15x8 welds.


Thats a lot of tire for that good of a drag radial. Im assuming your picked the size purley on looks.

 

[PI96GT]

i got em because a lot of my buddies have been running them and love em, i figured since i have 285's out back right now bumping up one size wouldn't be bad

 

[duff daddy]

Ahhh, good luck. Are they going to be any taller?

 

[PI96GT]

a little they are 45 series, and im running 40 right now

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

isnt that gonna be a lil tall? a 285/40 is about as tall as a 295/35 rite? wouldnt a 295/40 be better for a lil bit of growth in sidewall? Im not sure but i think that mite be a lil much.

 

[PI96GT]

they dont make em man

 

[ryclef331]

they'll fit....they'll be a bit beefy and you may run in to fender clearance issues but nothing a few mild taps of a malllet to the fenders won't fix.

Remember to flip the quad shock for extra clearance, unless you have aftermarket control arms.
