What size MT Street Radial?
I have a '98 LS1 Camaro and just got some Weld Prostars 15x10 7.5 bs and would appreciate any advise of what size MT Street radial (Not MT slicks) I can use on the car. I was thinking 315/50/15 0r 325/50/15 or anything else.
I know I have to grind the calipers, but i'm hoping I don't have to do anything with the fender or anything else.
Thanks Much,
Bob
PS I have a Moser 9" with a 3.70 gear.

I did not see a 315/50R15 listed. All I saw was the 315/60R15 and those are 30" tall which would be WAY too big.
Honestly, since you are only running a 3.70 gear I would go with a 275/50R15 which is 26" tall. If you end up running out of gear top end, then switch to either a 275/60R15 or a 325/50R15, both of which are 28" tall.
I am going to run a 28" tall tire but I have a H/C/I + nitrous setup and I am running 4.10's so I need the extra height to bring my final gear ratio down.
