I'm looking at stuffing some 325/50/15 drag radials under my 240sx, only issue is that the rear brakes have been upgraded to 300zx-tt. Does anyone know if a 15x10 rim will clear? I still need to measure exactly, but I'm looking at about a +20 offset.

A buddy of mine thought that 15" Weld Draglites would clear, but I'd like to confirm this.

no you might need spacers about 15mm

brake clearance has almost nothing to do with width and offset. its how the face of the rim is designed.

correct me if im wrong, but wouldn't a wheel with a concave face have the best chance of clearing?

Yeah, that's what he means. You can measure backspacing on the wheel to get a general idea, but you'll need to test fit them. That's wide enough that you'll be running some body mods, so why do you care if you have to put a 5mm spacer on there anyway?

The reason why I care is that with the 325 tire, even with my 50mm overfenders, things will be pretty close to maxed out. If at all possible, I want to be able to tuck these bad boys and avoid the 4x4 look.
