Default 325/50R15 Hoosiers???

I know there are plenty of threads about fitting the 325/50R15 on a stock rear. But most are concerning the Mickey's. I know the actual size of the M&H are smaller than the Mickey's. I was considering trying the Hoosier 325/50R15's but I'm concerned with their fitment and actual measurements. Summit Racing has their section width at 13.00 and the Mickey's at 13.10 suggesting better fitment, but the Hoosier website has them at 13.4 which im not sure will fit being the Mickey's are an extremely snug fit.

Any one have any experience with these? Thanks for the help guys.

I have 325/50/15 Hoosier d/r on my car, it's a pretty tight fit. You have to get it perfectly center in order to keep it from rubbing on anything. Once these are worn out I'm probably switching to 295/55/15 Hoosier.

What is the actual width measurement of them? Look like they maybe just as tight as the Mickey's.

MT 315/60/15's

was running Hoosiers and they like to GROW at higher speeds, the MT's don't grow.

I don't really notice a difference in size from Hoosier to MT

I'm assuming both the guys who posted pictures had to do the BFH mod? By the way, both cars look great with the wide meats. I'll be going with either the 315 or 325 Mickey's once my 275/50/17 Mickey's need to be replaced.

They do grow, here's a video of my car pay closer attention, as the video goes along you can see the tire grow and you will notice more of the rim edge showing. If my car sits in the garage for a couple weeks without moving the tires flat spot like a bias ply slick. Only take a 1/4 mile at 20-30 mph to make the bounce go away.
