I run the M/T ET Streets 325/50/15 with no issues, but I also run bogarts. Im not sure what the offset is but I can tell you that there is little room for error. Adjustable panhard and adjustable LCAs where required for my car.
A BFH will be your freind. I will have pictures soon.

Well find out what the back spacing is on the bogarts and if its the same, theres your answer. You will need a BFH and adj suspension.

i had them on my 15x10 7.5" BS pro stars. you need the BFH like everyone said and then adjustable LCA's to center to axle in the wheelwell. But it does fit, and looked pretty good
That's a 325/50/15 BFG DR. Check to see what the section width difference is between the two tires. I know the BFG's are pretty wide. Funny how I just so happen to have those pics from months ago.

thanks for the pics z28 kid..i have the same car and wheels, oh and cyrus, i had seen your post when i did a search where you were giving all the info and part numbers for the 5" b.s. , but i later saw your pics and realized you had the 7.5's. hey ZKID did you just have to hammer the inner fender? or did you have to cut as well...my car sits right about the same ride height as yours, so hopefully ill be allright..thanks for the info everyone

i cut off the bump stop on the inside of the wheel well. it's just easier that way. my rear sits a bit higher then i'd like, but that's changing. i don't have those tires on the car anymore, but they looked really good from the right angle. i'm gonna try and get the rear lowered a bit when i order some new springs since the car has turned to drag race only mode BFH and lots of aggression (g/f broke up with me that day, so took all of 5 minutes to clearance the focker)

thanks for the info, ill have to get myself all psyched up and grab the hammer..so what were your most critical points for hammering, i mangled the spots where my old 10" L60s used to rub, and i pulled off the bump stops... i guess ill grind my fender lip and my bump stops off and go from there...is it really ness. to take off the bump stops?

to take off the bumpstops... well when the car is sitting on the ground, they don't interfer, but when you jack the car up, the sidewall rubs and cuts caught on it. also, the front part of the inner fender needs to be hammered back. the front of the wheelwell/lower rocker panel area didn't need to be hit for these tires, but did for my 28x11.5x15 QTP's. I didn't trim the inner fenderlip area because the car's rear sat so high, but since i'm trying to lower the body of the car in the rear, it's gonna be necessary if you wanted to run those tires.
