yep, but they still won't fit. They're .2" shorter than the 315/60's.

Radial tire racing is interesting indeed. I wonder how much I can kick my tires back, enuff to fit a 29.5???? I can adjust the lca's and push the tires back an inch or more.

Don't you TA guys have a little more wheel well than the Camaros? Maybe someone that has a mounted set could take a string measurement and give you the specs.
It's amazing to watch some of the big HP cars make these tires work. I get to see them run a the World Street Nationals and last year the bump for the 32 car field was 8.66 @ 156!!!! All but two of the qualifying cars ran the new MT's.

Well I just bought that exact tire. I rolled it up to the car an it looks waaay to tall! So I had the guys send them back and order me some 325/50/15's instead. Maybe with all of your suspension mods you could get them to fit but I have a stock suspension and there was no way!

They will eventually go on a set of 15x10 Prostars with the 9" narrowed 3" each side but we are a ways away from fitting at this point. Rick

It's actually narrowed 3" to a side. So I'm running 4.5" Back Spacing on the rims.

I just hope my 325's dont stick out past the fender to bad. I really dont want to have to narrow the rear end any. In case I do though hoe much does it cost to get a rear end narrowed?

A local guy narrowed the housing for $150, the rest was done by Moser.
