Default 325/50/15 et street radials?

id like to try to run these and see how they compare to my 275/50/15s. i just dont know how well they are gonna fit. what did you guys have to do to run them with no rubbing? i will be driving them on the street too. or would a 315/60/15 be better?

You'll have to roll the lips on the quarters, beat the hell out of the inner quarter and probably have to cut off the bump stops

I just went thru alot of the research when I was choosing for my car....the 325s are 28" tires so they will be taller then the tires you are running now plus the obvious width difference ...315s are 30s which I think will take alot more work and I haven't heard of anyone on here using them on a fbody....I know I ended up getting 275/60/15s which are 28s but narrower...I still plan on running 325s down the line but I got a great deal on these so ill go with them for now

Not to highjack your thread but just trial fitted the 275/60/15s on my car...plenty of room.. the only prob I have now is I run 315/18s for my street setup and these Mickey's look to small compared to them so I might actually end up goin with the 325s and sell the 275s
