    tire fitment

    i need to get a set of drag radials for the rear but i am trying to figure out the biggest size i can fit on a stock set of 15" turbine rims, while also clearing the wheel well, i already removed the quad shocks so i was thinking maybe 275/50/15? anyone got any help!!

    255 will start to push it with width on the turbines. No way in hell for a 275. The rim is simply not wide enough.

    Not to bring back a dead thread but I have 26x10.50's on a set of turbines and they fit nicely.

    Would those 26 x 10.5s have a bit more sidewall than the 275/50/15? Maybe that's why they fit?
