15 inch drag radials
I have a 01 and wondering if i could put 15 inch rims on the back to mount a set of drag radials. Also what size of drag radials do you guys run. My factory tire is a 255/70/R16.

nothing like a Fbody. you ahve to take about 3/8 off the caliber and slope it to help clear the rim. i did it to a mock up cailber and realize its just cheaper andeasier to buy a 16" tire
