Max size slicks for FC (no fender rolling)
What is the max size MT ET drags that will fit on an FC without rolling the fenders. My measurments seem to indicate that 26 x 10 x 15 is probably too wide. But what fits, and what rim size and offset.
Thanks,,,
Thanks,,,

I have 255/50/16 Mickey Thompson drag radials on my FC and they fit but I had to roll the fenders. They almost touch on the inside too. I am using FD rims with 15mm spacers. When I use slicks the size is 26 X 8.5 X 15 on 7 inches rims with 4.5 inches of backspace.

Thanks for the responses, I run 255 40 17 street tires on 9 inch wide wheels, with no clearence problems, and still about 3/4s to an inch room on the inside. I think I am going to go with hoosier 26 x 9 x 15 slicks on 15 x 7 wheels.
