Whats the tallest tire you can run under a SN95 without cutting the fenderwells ? I have some 325's and have plenty of room behind but dont like all the space above the tire..This tire measures 25" ...Would a 29 work ? I know the 29 1/2 both front and rear would have to be trimmed some..Also wondered about a W

This is a 275/60/15 which is a 28" tire on sock suspension, as you can see room left over

How about lowering the rear as opposed to just filling it up with tire.

That seems a bit ridiculous.

My anti rollbar is already close to the upper control arms' I dont how much you can lower it without getting too close..Not for sure if the body lifts upward offf the line with the bars or not...You dont understand...I don't just want a bigger tire! I dont have much header to ground clearance...Had 2" untill i put a 27" front runner that raised it 1" higher..If i could get a 29x10.5W it would take up some of the space above the fender, but most of all ' Lift the headers up a little more also....I have a 325 D/R under in right now with plenty of clearance..Just need a taller tire...

Is it taller than a 325 d/r ? How close is your anti rollbar above the upper control arms ? From the gnd up these 325's measure about 27 , even though the jegs book says a little more...

My car is stock suspension, so I don't have an anti-roll bar. They measured a little over 28 inches I think, but I could be wrong.

Some time zone
325-50-15 drag radial is supposed to be equivalent to a 28 X 13.50 -15

A 315-60-15 MT drag radial is equivalent to 30 X 13.50-15

What gears are you running out back? What trans? Speed and RPM thru the traps?
