235 60 15 mt drag radials

[street_racer]

just picked up a used set of these from craigs list for dirt cheap from a guy that used them once for his 15 second turbo jetta. you guys think they will fit on the csx-t? got any tricks to make them fit if they dont? cant put them on yet cause the motor and trans are out of the car.

[xtrempickup]

might be a little wide for any stock rims less than 6.5 wide. height should not be a big issue

[street_racer]

they are mounted on steelies that are 5 by 100 so no problem with the wheels

[detobias]

I predict: *no way* those'll fit on a Pbody w/o major sawzall work

might fit on a van...

[R/Tony]

Why dont you take your wheels to a wheels / Tires dealer, some of them actually make custom wheels and they can add more "bed" for a wider wheel... it wont be expensive.

I am curently running 235 40 17's on the car so this is about 1 inch taller? what will be the major clearance issue the strut towers? or you think fender rub?

[xtrempickup]

strut tower clearance and rub at lock

[ATaylorRacing]

Your 17s are 24.4" in diameter while those 15s are 26.1" in diameter. Simply take the differance of 1.7" and divide it by 2....all around the tire will be .85" more height than the 17s....if you have 1" clearance above what you have now you should be okay....in a straight line that is

[speeduphoria]

it will rub the strut perches, then on a p body it will prob rub more. I have 245/45/17's on my Spirit and had to modify the fenders because it would bend them when turning

[gasketmaster]

I had that exact tire on my minivan....it cleared the strut great

Didn't hook worth crap......but fit awesome

[street_racer]

so I finally got around to mounting them up. they do fit and I can turn lock to lock, have yet to see how they hook up yet but they look pretty mean on there!

I have problems with a similar sized tire trying to rub on the front bumper cover (my cover hangs back a little too far).

I dont see why people would be so worried about fitment unless those wheels had a horrible offset and put the tires into the strut. The perch has room for that tire but the sides are iffy. Obviously yours seems to not be a big problem.
