OK. I received my Trigo 15" Pin Drive wheels. Should I go with P295/50R 15 or P275/50R 15 on the rear. Should I use P235/60R 15 or P245/60R 15 in the front.

I'm kinda thinking about the P295's for the rear, but I really need to be convinced that they will work without constant rubbing. How many are using P295's?

Thanks again

I went with the 295's as well. I've got Pin Drive control arms but standard wheels. I hope they won't rub since I'm using a 3-1/2" backspace n my Team IIIs. I think rubbing all depends on your backspace and whether you are willing to do some mods to the frame.

245's in front- they shouldnt be too tall. i think my 225 60 15 in front are shorter than my 275 40 17

tires vary in width from model to model.. so some 275 tires might even be wider than some 295 tires. i know my 275/50/15 BFG are WAY wider than my 275/40/17 kumho race tires. the tread is wider, plus the sidewalls bulge out another 1/2" on each side.

HTH,

295s will rub. Maybe not often and maybe not severely but they will rub. If you can live with get them. If not get the 275s. The fronts will fit either way. If you go big in the rear go big in the front. Rubbing is a fact of how much room there is. There are 2 limits inboard on the 2X3 tube and the outer lip. That distance is not 295 it is smaller. The IRS helps with rub because of the camber gain with the IRS. Hope this helps. Cheers Richard.
