They have some MT 275/60 drag radials on them. The total section width is 12". They rub the inside of the quarter panels. My question is....if I put a reg street tire ( BFG, Cooper,General, whatever...) how much less sidewall will there be as compared to the drag radials ? I see the specs for them but none of the specs are for them mounted on a 10" wheel. Thanks for any help J.C. Childress (434) 665-9541

In reality, there is slight differences from one manufacturer to another, but not much. My guess is that you wouldn't gain or lose anything. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120
