I ran 9"X30" radials until late this year. In the extreme heat this summer I had trouble hooking consistently, so went to 10.5"X30". I have both stiff side wall bias & radial Hoosiers. The radials are about 1/10th & 1 mph faster.

No one said they fit perfectly... mine (present/old set-up): rear-end narrowed 1 1/4", BFH mod, cutting fender well, cutting off bump-stops, cutting lower half of 1/4 panel... etc. Once done looks great.

New set-up (coming this spring): Moser 9", 3" narrowed each side, mini-tubbed, new perches, new spring (150lbs). Should be able to fit 15x12's, with some 30x10.5Wx15, lowered right on top of the tires.

Size of wheel matters. You can do: 30x9x15, on 15x8 wheels, they would come close to fitting. Doubt you'd be able to lower it much. You can buy perches from Wolfe that would give you a ride height adjustment.
