275/50/15 on a mini?

[tkelly27]

my neighbor left a buncha crap at m house, some of that crap happens to be some big ass tires. The smallest of which are 275/50/15's, they looked like they might fit, but the wheels they were on have chevy bolt pattern. Anyone ever got a set of these on a mini? I think I should get a better transmission before I think about hooking those up if they do fit : D Oh, they would be just for racing, so the only turning I'll be doing is the 90* to get off the drag strip. Thanks!

i have a set of 275/50/15 bfg drag radials mounted on some old magnesium slots with unilug pattern, the barely fit on my '79 malibu, one day i will buy the lug nuts & mount them on my '94 GC, even just for a picture, it'll be worth it, lol
