Yeah, I know. I'm running against the herd here, but I like the fact that they're super light, and I like the way they look. I've settled on the size, which is 15 x 8, with a 5.5" backspace. Was hoping to run a DOT drag radial, but they don't make any sizes between stock width and 275/50R15, and I'm not sure those will fit. I'm also considering the Hoosier Quicktime Pro DOT slicks in a 26x9.5x15 size. What's the fattest tire anybody's running on the rear of an FC3S?

I was about to say are you even done installing the E6X yet? lol
Shoot! It's been in and running for like two years! Just don't ask me if I have it tuned like I want it. Runs and drives good, but I'm still a little richer than I'd like to be at a bunch of places.
Now back to the tire issue!

275's fit, but like street tire 275's i dunno about drag tires, them things ur wierd
Okay, well BFG makes the T/A Drag Radial in 275/50R15, but I'm thinking it will stick out well past the fenders and maybe rub on the body there on the inside front of the wheel well. I think the section is like 11.2 inches? You think it has a chance?

well, yes! the rear of the fc gains negative camber as the suspension goes into bump, so the tires tuck under the fenders insead of hitting them, in the rear. and a 265 tire fits back there....
in the front, the suspension doesnt tuck the tires, and its kinda narrow. you need camber plates, and smaller springs and then maybe you can squeeze 245's in there. i did 235's and it was tight. you can get bigger fenders and fill em with tire, i think the re amemyia time attack car was running 255's in the front....
