Need help fast please
Ok i need help with this all anwsers and pics would help. I need tires and was wondering is 275x50x15 is to big for my car. I have a 15x8 wheel with 5.5" backspacing. And also i have eibach drag launch springs on the car which makes it sit lower in the rear. Please i need help quick with this as i've already ordered the tire and if they dont fit i need to send them back thank you.

It will be fine. Just go ahead and roll your fenders and they will fit just fine without scrubbing

You should be fine. I have the same size tires (ET Street drag radials) on a set of 8" Welds for my coupe. I have Racecraft springs and I think it sits as low (if not lower) than your car. I never had a scrubbing problem.
I can't find any pics of those tires on my car, but here are the same wheeels with some 26x11.50 tires (ET Street slicks).

What i mean is even though they are the same size "275x50" the nitto isnt as wide as the bfg. Seems like i had a friend that had a set of bfg's and never ran them, but he ran a set of mickey thompson drag radials that was 275x50 and all he had to do was roll his lip a little and his backspacing was like 4.5 or 5 i think. I'm going to mount them i guess if i have the same problem u did i'll make them work like u did. thats all i can do i guess. lol
