I would say 275-50-15's would be your best bet.

Here is a 275/50/15 on mine. I'm pretty sure you can run a 325/50/15 as I've seen others on here do it with lowered cars.

I dont have a pic of the 275s but they should be fine on a lowered car. The 325s I dunno about street driving on a lowered car, unless its mini tubbed or something. These are on prostars which have like 1/4" more backspacing then the bogarts, car is maybe an inch lower then stock.

It has all the T/A parts except for the front bumper. I may go back to the Formy look one day.

FYI I had my setup fit some 28W's, and the 325's subsequently fit without any extra work.

My car is lowered and I fit 325's no problem. You might have to hammer the wheelwell a bit, but nothing crazy. I also cut off my bumpstops for extra room. Its tight, but its been done alot.

only thing I'm scared of is it looks like if I hit a big enough bump the tire will hit the wheel lip with no bumpstop. PSJ looks like he rolled his inner fender lip, mine are stock, already hammered/cut for 10.5x28 drags so there is plenty of room in front and behind.
