Default 325 guys come in!

How much banging and grinding did you have to do for the 325s to fit? Pics would be awesome! I am puting my 325/50/15s on this week.

Dayum I love that look. It just looks tough.

I have clearanced for a 29x10.5W so 325s should fit easily. We plan on trying a set during the winter.

My old shop car had a stock width 9", 15x10 Prostars, 7.5 BS.
Ran MT 325/50/15's. Reoved the Bump Stops and did some BFH mods.

The new 99 Trans Am Shop car will most likley get the same setup.

Crappy Pics:

On my '95, there was no way they would fit without doing a partial mini tub on the front part of the wheel wells. That was even before I lowered the car.

15x10 7.5 offset
325/50-15

I did get them to clear with wheel spacers, but I didn't like the way the tires stuck outside of the body. The wheel spacers ended up on the front to clear the brakes.

You're gonna love it!

I run a 7.5" BS, stock width rear. Just had to roll the fenders, cut the bumpstops, and do some minor BFH'ing. I do have spacers on but only for the wheels to clear the brakes, I could make the tires clear without them.

Getting a 9" with -2.5" per side. Now I'm also getting new wheels with 5.5"bs. Also using a spacer in the rear. You think I can still use 325's or am I stuck with 275's? Who makes the narrowest 325?

there is a 295 because thats what they are running for the LSX shootout radial class so you can go bigger than a 275 without going all the way to the 315. I want to get my car minitubbed so i can tuck 315's though.

probably wont happen anytime soon.

the 295 is too tall for me. I think its like 29-30" tall?
