Looking to get a set of Drag Radials for my FC. I will be putting them on FD wheels which are 16x8. My question is, can I fit a 255/50/16 in the Rear of the FC on stock suspension? I have also purchased a set of 25mm spacers to push the wheels out a bit.

The only other option i have for a DR on a 16in tire is the Nitto 555R's which come in a 245/50/16, which i know will fit great with the spacers.

I would rather stick to a bias-ply tire to make it easier on my drivetrain. MT ET Street Radials only come in a 255/50/16.

 

yes it will work fine with that 1" spacer.

i used to run the 245/50/16 nitto DR's on my FC back in the day with no spacers (on FD wheels) and it would barely rub the trail arm. so a 255 on an FD wheel with 1" spacers will fit fine.

 

Good to know. I'm a lil worried that it might rub on the fender under heavy squat...

 

I'd be more worried about the torque load on the end of the lug bolt with the 1" spacer. you can fit a 245 45 16 with a +38 offset with out running a spacer or having rubbing issues

 

Aren't FD wheels a +50 offset? I realize I can run a 245/50/16 tire with no rubbing issues at all...but then it comes down to which tire I want. The MT ET Street Radials only come in a 255/50/16. Its a bias ply tire which helps on the torque load of a drivetrain.
