10.5w's In Stock Wheel Wells?
I've been searching and searching and I cannot find a definite answer....I am looking to put a set of Hoosier 29/10.5w tires on my Trans Am. Looking for info and pictures of fitment. I have read about going with the stiffs and I want the w's on the car. So please any info and pics would be great...really don't want to mini tub the car...please only chime in with personal experience. Thanks in advance.
So here is the questions: Stock length 9", 15x10 Welds 7.5" BS with coil overs and stock tubs....will it work?

He used to run 30x9's on his old car(my car now) it has plenty of room in the wheel wells as the opening's at the bottom have been neatly trimmed and the wells them selves had hammer work and some more cutting. I could easily run a 315/60 or a 29x10.50W, but my rear end has been narrowed 6", the wheels are 10" wide and have 4.5" BS might be 4.25" can't remember now.
If you ask really nicely I might take a wheel off and snap a picture for you

Even with all of that I'll still get a "paint rub" on the front and rear well at 165mph...can not see it on the slick.
I do not know how you could run a 29 10.5 w without some serious rear well mods...I would have to cut mine at least 1" to make it work...
I have 1" of clearance around the tire now...at speed these tires grow at least 1.50" total.
