325/50/15 mounting on a camaro well they were not much help in the wheels and tire section so
i have done a search and on says they fit easy and one say no problems
SOOO what does it take to fit these on a camaro and will they even fit my car because it is lowered 1.5 inches ?
if not what is the biggest tire i can fit on it ?
this tire will be going on a 15x10 with 7.5 bs and my springs are suspension techniques from jegs if that matters

Are you guys lowered with lowering springs? I took the spacer off of my stock springs. I've heard it lowers the car 3/4" Any of you have to use adj lca's or phb?

Not a 325 DR, but as big or a wee bit wider...

I can't get it any lower.

Search in the wheel and tire forum under my username, I have them and I'm lowered. You will have to hammer the wheel well, and maybe trim the back bumper (I did). I also run some very small spacers, like 1/4" I think. This is mainly for the brake caliper clearance, but w/o the spacer I am going to have to hammer more. You might need an adjustable p/h rod, I have one but didn't need it to clear them.

roll the fenderlips, hammer inner wheel well. Bumperstop isnt a problem IF you always place the jack under the rearaxel.

And are cutting the bumpstops and BFH noticable on 16x8 stock wheels? Ill be running those for most of the time.

On non-adjustable lcas, you have to cut or they touch. At least mine did.

the work shown in the picture was what it took to barely fit the 325's. I then went back and cut a lot more of the bump stop area out where out, following the red half circle.
The oval is where you need to hammer a LOT. I tried an air hammer, which did NOTHING. I used a normal hand hammer, then i brought out my big sledgehammer to finish it off.
I used metal snippers to cut the rear fender where it says "TRIM"
