    A buddy of mine is giving me a set of drag radials and the rims on my car are only 7" wide. What width and back spacing do I need for 275/60/15's? Somebody told me the minimum width was 8", but would they be better on 10" wide rims?Will these fit? I like them cause they're close to whats on my car now.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARE-A695865/

    A 7" wheel will work , a 8" is better if a m/t,bfg if its a hoosier radial it isnt gonna fit without a bunch of clearancing and it really needs a 10-12" wheel hoosiers run very wide

    Thanks, I have some extra steelies that came off my cherokee that are 15x7 I can put the drag radials on, don't know if they'll fit with the 5.25 b.s. though.

    Anybody have a backspacing recommendation for 15x8s? I need to order wheels by tomorrow and would like to get ones that are known to fit.
