No probably not. Although if you have a rust bucket.................Yes I'm seeing those on like open will rat rod cars and also I'm a couple of gassers. I don't think they would fit the look of my car.

Me too.I ignored their advice and put my 275/60/15 555's on 7's anyway...
5000 miles but actually 7000 miles when you count the revolutions in the water box. LOLI have experience with the Nitto and the M/T drag radials. Based on a bunch of time slips, (but no actual same day comparisons) my impression is the Nittos are slightly softer, and maybe hook out of the hole a little better, but the M/T's work better on a decently prepped track. I can't get much more than 5000 miles out of either one, but I'm not really trying to either, if you get my drift...
I don't think a half inch narrower wheel will make any difference at all.
Nice! 15x7's with around 4" backspace work well on early A's.This is a 255/60/15 Mickey Thompson on a 15x7 cop wheel.

Me too.
I run the Nitto 555 275/60-15 on 15x7 Centerline AutoDrags on my Duster. This will be the 3rd summer and they are holding up nicely. Excellent street traction. I run 30psi street, 25 strip.
Thank you men! It's looking like I might just go ahead and save the $120 and get the nitto's... they won't ship out till Monday anyway so I've got the rest of the day to hear a better argument LOL. Somehow I do prefer Summit over Jegs. Not that one has given me trouble over the other, but maybe I can have Summit match Jegs no extra fee for oversized shipping?I have experience with the Nitto and the M/T drag radials.

Those look great on there! I have an extra two inches sticking out on each side, but also I have the advantage of the big openings that the duster provides. I'm feeling I'll be okay. They do stick out an extra 2 in on each side as I do run an ebody rear axle. But the SS Springs keep it pretty high...This is a 255/60/15 Mickey Thompson on a 15x7 cop wheel.

Go troll on Facebook! Real racers are talking!Nothing is going to help that mismatched rust bucket junkyard thing just save your money
Go troll on Facebook! Real racers are talking!
Then give us some valuable information and stop trolling!! If you have been racing longer than iv been alive then you are way to old to be trolling anyway!! If you dont have nothing good to say dont say nothing at all! LolPleaseeeeeeeeee..been racing longer then you've been alive
Personally I think they would look very good on your car. I remember the look of the dusters chargers chevelles and novas etc etc back in the 80s when I was a little kid and they had the farm recap tires on the rear end to help in the snow or whatever. They look very similar to those. To me that completes the 80s look!Yes I'm seeing those on like open will rat rod cars and also I'm a couple of gassers.

bring back memories..... I ran a pair of Indy SS tires. LOL... I couldn't hook with them at all. I ended up going with the comp t/a drag radials.View attachment 1715316279
This is what I used in the 80's; if that's your period. The "S/S" was a soft compound version of the Indy Profile. Dead hooked my stock, auto trans Demon, but it only ran 14's.
I have no idea if they're still made.
Pie crust is what I should have typed. Old school cheaters.

Yeah I've been through the clutch thing but haven't been able to afford the correct kind. That's why I'm kind of putting it back on the street and not so much drag racing so I can get some more affordable use out of my car. I will take passes and I do need to get my 2 Step working againWhat you may find out JPar is a clutch management deal will become as important as a tire selection. Not sure if you guys have what we call " Gear Jammers" on the west coast but those guys have been there and done that. I dealt with a strong BB 5 speed car and only ran slicks but in the end I needed to address my clutch situation and that was not cheap....
