No, not what fits. I'mwondering how wide of a tire is livable with a manual rack? Would a 275 make parking too difficult?

Before I swapped out for all the goodies, I had stock A-Arms, 28:1 manual box (yes 28), medium length steering arms, 11" steering wheel, and 225's gforce T/A's in front. I could barely crank the wheel at a stop...the car really needed to be rolling at least a 1/2 mph before I would try to turn it.

When I took the plunge into my upgrade, I really wanted a quick ratio manual but soon realized it would be a mistake. With bigger/sticker rubber, a bunch more castor, and a 12.7:1 box, I know there's no way I d be able to move this car unless it had power steering.
