Tire question

[ducky]

ya lot of guys run 315's on stock wheels (so a 12.5 tire on a 7" rim) you DO get ballooning, doing it with tall sidewall is dangerous cuz the tire can pop off on hard turns.

On lower profile tires, it'll be harder to get the bead to seat, but it'll stay that way once it's on. A wider rim will just give you better road contact. Your outer 1/2 inch might bubble out, but lowering psi should fix that a little.

My cousin has a 81 malibu with a 502 and 2 stage nitrous and he only runs a 10.5 slick on stock suspension...I can't imagine you needing much more then that.

That size was the only size I could find to keep it close to the 28" tall tire, I didnt wanna go to a 26" tall tire and lose any mph

The Escalade wheels will move in 3/4", so they will stick out as much as stock, you just have an extra inch on the inside because of the 8" rim width.

Yeah thats what I was figuring too
