Hey y'all,


I have a 88 Mustang with the Ford lowering C springs.  I think that means it's about 1" lower in the rear.  Anyway, looking for drag radials and wondered if 275 50 15 will clear the body.  So far the body is stock and the fender wells have not been rolled.  Does anybody know?


Thanks!

They should fit because a 275/50 is 26 inches tall.  With the proper backspacing on the wheels, they should fit without having to roll the lip.  If not, you could take the quad shocks off and get wheels with a little more spacing to tuck them under a little further.  Either that or get the Weight Jacker, Steeda or Granatelli arms that adjust the spring cup and those will get you the clearance you need.

Just a thought, you can reverse your quads if need so u dont have to remove em. Good luck
