    275/60R15 drag radials on rear?

    Ok, minimal progress these last 2 months, where I store the '90 735i is about 90 miles from where I live, I've had no luck researching this online, but does anyone know if these will fit? They can go on the stock 7" wheels, but it may need 8s just to tuck them farther under, plus then 295/55R15 drag radials might be test-fitted, if 275/60s fit.
    If 275/60R15s don't fit, maybe 255/60R15 drag radials?

    I know this has nothing to do with the e32 fitment, but i run 255 60 15s on my 68 Buick factory 7" rallyes, fits nice on the rim. But I personally wouldn't go any bigger on a 7. A 275 really needs an 8" in my opinion

    are slow
    275s are snug with no rubbing on the back of the E34, E32 should have a little more clearance. 255 is guaranteed to fit without issue, it was factory on a couple setups with the large case diff.

    5mall5nail5 has a setup with 315s in the back, 275 up front.
