Back in the day I ran the 325/50/15 BFG DR on my WS6, it set fairly low. The BFG has a 13in. sidewall with a 10in. footprint whereas the M/T 325 has a 13in. sidewall with a 13in. footprint. Check this summit link. I see if I can find the old post.

with cutting and beating the 325 will fit on a 10" rim with a lowered car. the 275/60/15 will fit with no modification. enough tire to go 1.4 60' all day
