    Wow, I was looking at the fox down at wolfpack on the lift and he had 245's on it didn't seem like much room left at the top. I hate those damn quad shocks those will be gone shortly.

    Mine being a GT sits low enough for me. I just wanted to get the biggest back tire under it for street abuse.

    (1987 gt)well when i bought my car it was stock, nothing had been done and it had 255 bfg drag radials on the back that clear EASY so i was thinking 275s would prolly be the max, i have 235 bfg drs right now, and cant stand how small they are... they look tiny, so when i buy new tires ill be looking at 275 or 265..... well hope that helped some..

    I had 275/50/15s under mine, but didn't have quad shocks. You can fit a 295/50/15 without quad shocks too.

    Lol, the front does sit a lil high. SO maybe a set of eibach's but I don't want to make it to stiff so it launchs nicely. Hmm, lot's of tires to choose from now thanks guys.

    Scott, I may take you up on that once I get the parts on. It's just sleeping in the driveway for now.
