Post subject:  tire question? drag radials for civic

i just bought 2 bfgoodrich drag radials(correction)( 225-40-17) wondering if anyone has done this yet..i will get them next week somtime ...i think they might hit the strut..its going on a 92 civic i dont think they are going to hit the fender my car isnt that low in the front...worst comes to worst i will get longer lug studs and spacers....hopfully i get some traction and go to the strip soon....just asking if anyone has done this tire size combo.... :?:

I run 225/50/15 drag radials on a 1.8" drop and they rub if I almost turn to lock.

245 is a WIDE tire. I don't know considering they're on 17s

Wheel offset plays a big factor here. What offset are you running?
