Ordering tires tonight?

So I have run et streets in 10.5 and 11.5 on stock wheels. Both ft fine. I need to order some for my 15 wheels. Has anyone tried 27 inch tall tires without rolling the fenders? I know a few that ran 28's but had to roll fenders.

Pretty close on both. I ended up going 1.36 on the 10.5's after a few changes but never tried the 11.5's again. Best on them was a 1.44.

I sold the front and 1 set of rears (11.5's on stockers and spares with cokers) to a forum member already. I still have another set of stockers with 10.5s et streets that will be for sale once I am happy with the fitment of the new wheel-tires. I will let you know but I don't won't to separate the tire and wheels.


Richard, I don't want to roll the fenders. Don't want to modify the stock body. Kinda crazy as I know I will never go back to stock.

I had to roll my arches when I fitted my 27x11.5x15 tyres/wheels.
Also had to grid the caliper and one of the bolts on the hubs to stop it griding with the 15 inch rims
