WHAT IS THE EASIEST

WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO TUCK 30 BY 9 1/2 SLICK UNDER A 86 Z28 WITH OUT TUBING OR ARE SHOCKS?

Hmm...that's an awfully tall tire. Why?

Anyway, I don't think it will be easy to get them to fit without a whole lot of banging in the wheelwell. The only part that's helping you is that they are narrow compared to most other guys that run taller tires (like a 28x11.5, for example). I've never tried to fit a tire like that under a thirdgen, so I'm not exactly sure how easy it will be.

It'll fit but you'll have to do some serious beating/grinding to the inner fenders. I had 28x10.5 ET Drags and they hit the front part of the wheel wells (behind the doors) slightly. I imagine a 30" tall tire you'd have to probably cut out that area and weld up new metal more inward... You'd also have to grind down the LCA mount quite a bit.

I have a set fo 295/65 M/T drag radials (same as 30x12.50 et street)I just put on my car. They are on 15x9" wheels with 5.5" back space. I had to roll the lip and do some mods on the front of the inner wheel well where it turns towards the body. I have pics of where to modify and of car with tires on if you are interested. I'm at work and they are on my home computer. I'll email them to you if you want.

Your so right,i have a 29.5 x 10.5 ,Phonenix firestone and MT slicks, and your right alot of cut front and rear fender well openings, as well as the inside coil spring pocket,and buy new smaller LCA just so they clear, why a 30" slick, i'm changing to a 28.5 x 10.5 slick to get some more RPM's, try a ph-377 F/X (28.5x9) or a MT #3054 (28x9),if your not make alot of power a shorter tire will give you more RPM's.and a 5.5" Back space rim.
