I've never seen tires this big on a DeLorean before with the exception of those with 17 or 18" wheels, but these are just too big.
The fronts were a wisely chosen 205/55/14 but the rears are a monstrous 275/60/15!!! Yes, I coudn't believe it either until I saw them up close. From what I can tell I've got the Eibach springs up front, but stock springs in the back. I'll be swapping in the rear Eibachs as soon as I wear out the tires. The good news is that the tires are Nitto NT555R's which are drag radials so they won't last forever. I'm already looking to swap these out for some proper dark grey wheels or my Cheviot wheels anyways.
I will say this though, if you're looking for better highway mileage these tires will help! They're about 2" taller than stock! It's a good thing this car has cams and headers or I don't know how this thing would get moving off the line.
