clovis OP mopar Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 553 Kentucky	Anyone put a 295/55-15 MT drag radial under a Duster? Any pictures and details of what it took to get them in there (i.e. offset springs, mini-tub, etc.).

The 295 shows 11" of tread and 12.2" of section width on a 10" rim. My 28x10.5 are 10" tread and 11.7" of section width, so it looks like you can get a full inch of tread for a 1/2 inch of section. I am thinking I can get those in there with just an offset spring kit, as I have about a half inch now between the tire and spring and about an inch and half between the tire and back of the fenderwell.

Did you trim the quarter panel wheel well in the front and back or just the front lower corner? Curious as I have my axle centered in the wheel well, hoping to fit the same tire in a bias ply without having to do any trimming! M/T advertised roll out of 93 inches. Steve

My spring offset kit is also set up to move the rear end back 1". I am hoping that will at least give me the option for a 29.5. My main question is can I get a 295/55 under the car with just a spring offset kit and a stock fenderwell.

I got the impression from what little research I've done that I don't think MT has had this size out that long, that is why I was asking if anyone has used a set, as the dimensions seem pretty good for us non-tubbed guys.

For my car, that was the biggest tire I could get "up in" the wheel well with out mini-tubbing it. So to answer your question, yes Its mini-tubbed. Last edited by joshking440; 01/31/11 09:21 AM.

I just bought a set of M/T 295/55-15 for my Rampage, they measured 28" or less(same as they showed in Summit) but were a touch narrower than they said... thats on a 10" wide wheel 6448487-DSC01771-w640-h480.jpg (156 downloads)

Yes its a 10" X 15" rim... I'm not home right now but if I recall it was about a 1/2" past the rim to the max section area EDIT I think I might have another pic showing the section width.... I dont think you can see it 6449234-DSC01775-w640-h480.jpg (109 downloads) Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 01/31/11 08:17 PM.

This is the part I am needing to confirm, as that is nearly exactly what I have to fit a tire. I am at the point I need the tire now to use to cut the rearend and I just didn't want to order a set and find out that it would not fit. Mr. P, that is why your measurements were of interest to me. Thanks for the help.
