If you are going with the new M/T DR, I would suggest the 275-60-15 - they are 28x11.5x15 - 9.5 tread. They "should" fit without any problem. Possible a little BFH mod. You'll need the 28" and the wider tread. Unless you think you can fit the 325x50x15 - a big *** tire that will need a lot of work to make fit.

The hoosier qtp 27" tire fit's pretty nice and hooks well plus it's a good size with 4.11s and your power level. I ran that when I was making 408rwhp and it kept me in 3rd with the a4 through the 1/4. I also had true duals, f-14 and 4.11s, other than the transmission our set-ups were very close.

If you go 28''tire it will make your 4.11 more like a 3.73. Why do you want a radial tire? Is this going to be your daily drive/track tire? if not look at the M&H racemaster cheeter slick www.intercotire.com I run the 26x11.5x15 w/4.11 gear and cut 1.42 60's on motor. I could even spray out of the hole a 150 shot and dead hook. my bud on a stock suspenchion w/4.11's will cut 1.55-1.59 60's all day on the M&H at a redneck track(not the best prep). Goodluck to ya.

you crack me up sammy. i say go with a 28in tall tire. but i know how picky you are about harming your car, so go with the 275/50 tire its a 26in tire and you wont have to do nothing.

Now I have the 28" hoosiers and they fit the same way but I wouldn't risk it without the adjustable lcas because there is only about 1/2" clearance on both sides of the bumpers. So far I have not had to cut the bumper or roll the fenders, those were the two things I was not willing to do.
