325/50R15 fit on 95 TA? Will this tire fit? Overall diameter is 27.9", 2" bigger than stock wheel diameter. It will be going on a 15X10 rim. Any grinding or rolling of fenders needed? Rim is a Bogart, btw. Thanks!

you need a 7.5 backspace and will have to cut off the bumpstop probably and maybe use a mallet to pound the inner wheel well a little but they will fit.
that's an awful big tire for your setup and wil slow you down.

How much slowing down are we talkin about? Would a 325/50/15 be overkill? I'll be drag racing my car more than I daily drive. It will have a th350, 3000 stall, and 4:10 gears, and atleast a N/A 400hp?

A 275/50/15 should be plenty tire for you.
I wouldn't run a 325/50/15 unless I was making 650 rwhp or more. That's a 28" tall tire and pretty big.
At my other computer at home, I have a spreadsheet that can show you what rpms you will be turning at a given speed, governed by rear gear ratio and tire size.
You want to be crossing the traps at the peak of your powerband.

That could be very useful.

When i put mine on, there was a lot of work to be done getting mine to fit. Grinding the calipers; removing bumstop and grinding, BFH, new adj. lca's, rolling the fender lip. Good luck!

I saw your car in the wheel and tire gallery, Thats what got me hooked on the 325/50's. That thing looks awesome!
