M&H Drag Radial Tire 315/60R15 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking at M&H Drag Radial Tire 315/60R15 for my 69 GMC stepside. I have a 2 inch lowering block. Anyone tried these for clearance?

Thanks

I'm running a 4 inch back space with 275 60 15 and i have about one inch before rubbing the tub well

I forgot to mention I am also using a 1/2 inch spacer with longer studs so I can go to 4 /12 back space now.

The tire is 1.6 inch wider between the 315/60r15 and 275/60r15 so I think I can do it but it will be close.

I'm paying attention to see what works

It's going to be tight. I have 275 55 17 on 15x9 with 5" backspace on mine and there is maybe 3/4" on either side. I am using a 71-72 5 lug axle. Mine is leaf spring and flipped for a 7" drop so you may have more wiggle room with only 2" block.
