e-mail the photo's to n_lambert@sbcglobal.net if need be. Thanks a TON in advance.

I mocked my 325's yesterday not on the wheels but with the rotor in the center of the wheel about where the tire is gonna be. It looks like I'll have to clearance the front inside of the wheelwell where it slopes down cause the front inside of the tire might rub a bit. I'll just BFH it or cut it.. haven't decided yet...

Will 325/50's work for a TH 350 car w/ a 4.10 gear? On the gas? (overall diameter question) Or would I need to go w/ the 315's? Whats the approximate cost on these?

Depends on how fast you are going to go, and how high you shift.

I tell ya i wonder if these tires are even 325 and 315. Anyone ever do a inflated measurement from bead to bead up and over the top of the tire? A 325 should measure 650 and a 315 should measure 630. I find there sizing hard to belive with the tires having same tread width and the 315 is 2 inches taller with a change in aspect ratio and it still has the same tredwith as the 325. Just strange to me ill measue a set one day myself.

To answer the original question, you can run a 275-60-15 with really no work to the body and fender wells.
You can run a 325-50-15 DR with some inner fender well clearancing, some deburring of the front sheet metal, and maybe a little triming on the rear bumper plastics.
Anything beyond a 325-50-15 gets into some real cutting of the sheet metal and plastics. I consider the trimming for 315's without minitubs and stock length rear to be pretty excessive if you look you can find pics.

325/50/15 on 9.75 D10... No further inner fender hammering than what was required to run a 315/35/18. Chop the bump stops. 2 taps with the hammer on the front edge of the fender and replaced the TA ground effect bolt with a pan head screw.

Hoosier's 29-10.5W are actually measured on a 10" wheel for their catalog and their technical manager stated there is no appreciable difference between running them on a 10 or 12 inch wheel.
