f-body 325/50/15 drag tires Ok, I just bought a set of Billet Specialties 15x10 rear wheels, Street Lite f-body specific... 7.5" back spacing. I also just got a pair of MT ET Street Drag Radials 275/60/15. Who has 325/50/15 on their f-body, and asside from the BFH mod, and fender lip rolled....why is everybody telling me it will not fit? I already have 315/35/17s on the rear....I'd only be gaining 1 inch of tire above the axle...whats the big deal?
Anybody got any pictures?

I had cut my bump stops out already and relocated them much further in for my 17X11 rims to clear without jacking up by the rear so that they could dangle from any jacking point.

I had to adjust the hell out of my suspension, roll the fenders, BFH the inner well and then they fit fine. A 325/50R15 is A LOT bigger than a 315/35R17, not only is the tire taller but it is pretty wide too.

yes 325s are a lot bigger than the 315s
my 315 35 17s fit with no work at all my 325 50 15s fit after i rolled the finder and remover the bump stops and i used a BFH and had allready cut the tips of the frame rails out when i was running the 28.8x12.3x18s drag radials so that helped also
they will fit though lol

325 50 15 I just bought a set and I am wondering is there a problem with the fender coming in contact with the tire on launch. I have a set of 27-10-15 slicks on weld 10x15's 7.5 bs and they won't roll when I put them on the ground. I am getting the fenders rolled and I'll work on the inner side next. It looks like there are a lot of obstacles.

Bogart D10's 15x10 rear and 15x3.5 up front. MT 325/50/15.
I have 17x11 ZR1's for my street wheels which required a little BFH. These Bogarts required no additional BFH or cutting of the bumpstop. I don't care if they hang up when lifting from the body. Fenders aren't rolled yet but they will be soon. Driving on the street with these is ok until you hit a big bump and the tire rubs. Here are some pics.
