Im on an 8 and I had to roll the fenders. Just bc my car was squatting pretty hard, and it was only on the pass side. Air bags help. Just bought a drag bar so hopefully I won't have that prob anymore. Don't really have much from the back. sorry.

That looks absolutely ******* retarded.
Those tires are dangerous to put on that size rim, looks aside. 10" rim at minimum for a 325.
Not only that but you wouldnt even be using the tire. Sell or trade them for a correct size tire. Not only will it look better, you will most likely run better.

275/60/15 has a sidewall width of 11.0 and tread width of 9.5.
325/50/15 has a sidewall width of 13.1 and tread width of 11.6.
Not sure what catalog you are looking at, but the tires are not damn near the same - thats a 2.1'' difference in sidewall and width!
Tire companies have rim width recommendations for a reason. IMO if you need the 28'' tire, get the 275/60s or get 15x10s.

Well that's your opinion, book shows from 9-12 in rim, just like the OP got a good deal I couldn't pass up, so its what I am running. Explain how it is dangerous. There is no extra load on the side wall or anything, and as far as the contact patch, it actually pushes the center of the tire out more. Either way, it works, and im not the only one who has done it. 1.5 60 on a stock 10 bolt, shows it works, but im sure you will knock that too. Next tire will be a 275,60 which is damn near the same tire when you compare them side by side, book shows 7.5-9.5 rim. OP u will be fine.
Thanks for playing.
