325 m/t radials. does require some beating and removing the bumpstop area. its a really wide tire. 28x10.5 fits with only mild beating.

I've run a 27x11.5 qtp, that was really close without doing any beating or cutting at all, but they didn't rub.

325's are a good bit wider, probably close to an inch or so. But, with a big enough hammer they will fit.

yes 10.5" rim on a 325 M/T is the widest setup before cutting/tub

fender rolling is advised too...
