27/10/15 on 8" draglites?

[306 notch]

Does anyone know if 27/10/15 tires will fit on 8" draglites, or biggest possible slicks for 8" draglites?

I think they would fit fine. I say 11.5 you should be able to put on there . I know alot of people run 26x10.5's on the stock pony wheels which are only 7" wide.

yes they will fit, i used to run M/T slicks in 26/10.5/15 on a 15x8 draglite and then went up to a 28/11.5/15. The 28 will fit good, except in the wheel well, i needed to trim a little of the plastic ground effects inside the wheel well so the tire wouldn't rub, the 27 inch should fit without trimming.

i run 27x10.5 ET Streets on 15x8 with 5.5" BS. setup fits real nice. i also used to run 26x11.5 ET Streets, which fit nice.

I would say that's about as big as you'd want to go. DOT tires aren't a true measurement like a slick is, that's one thing to watch out for.
