Default 295/65 M/T on 15" wheels

Spent a few hours grinding the calipers earlier this week to fit 15's. The Wheels are U.S. Wheel 84 series Summit P/N USW-84-5860L. They are 15x8 4" BS on a -19mm offset.

I'm not great at taking pictures BTW

Ya a 30" is quite a good bit of tire for at the track... you have 4.10s?

The contact patch is close to 12" lol. It has 3.73's, comp 212 218 and HSW 100 shot, but will be getting at minimum 3200 multi-disk PI or Yank, long bars, headers, heads, more spray, blown trans, etc. I'm just really tired of not having traction.

Well it looks sick as all hell lol. You should maybe think about stepping up to a set of 4.10s to get some more gearing outta it if your gonna run 30" tires, even on the street youll find its not that bad. I will definitely consider your setup exactly when I do my new wheel/tire setup

Thanks! When the G80 gets tossed I'll look into some 4.10's The only reason the G80's still there is the labor costs of swapping in a new LSD.

I've heard running bias plys in the rear isn't fun with radials up front? I think the smallest I'd go on tire size is 28".
