Default biggest tire you can fit in a 2000 trans am without tubing?

I am hoping to put in a 325 mickey thompson drag radial on the back of my trans am or at least a 315. What needs to be done to fit it? O I am going to use a 15x 10 rim unsure of what brand / rim exactly yet however. I am open to suggestions.

325's here on 15x10.25" Bogarts with 5.5BS(rear narrowed 2.25 per side). I had the same setup with stock length rear and 15x10 Draglites with 7.5 BS. Roll the lips,grind a little, massage a little and voila!

man you have got me sold on these then man I am aiming for a 10 second 6 speed car so any help I can get trying to get my *** off the line I am gonna take. Did you just need to cut the lip on the fenders and remove the bump stop or what exactly did you need to do? I may swap my rear brakes for a set of v6 rear brakes or a set off an lt1 I am unsure at the moment beause I dont like the idea of grinding on them.

Roll the fender lips(plenty of info on here for that) and i did remove the bump stops. I have single adjustable Qa1s all the way around, BMR extreme torque arm and Adj lower control arms,BMR sfc, LCA relocation brackets,BMR anti roll bar,stock v6 rear springs and 275lb coilovers up front. Also if you run Bogarts you wont have to grind. Good Luck.
