Default How to fit a 325/50r15 drag radial in a convertable with a 10" rim

I now have the 4" Centerlines Warriors on the front of my car & am about to buy the back ones that are 10" with a 6 inch back spacing. I cut the rear coils about 1 coil & now am looking to fit a 325/50r15 bfg drag radial & I saw a post with that tire..... what do I need to do to fit it? Please Only reply if you have this tire on your car, please I dont need guesses. If I need to raise it I have no problem. BTW anyone looking to NOT grind the brake calipers centerline rules for cost & weight Thanks for any help.

6" bs should clear the inner fender, but stick WAY out. Most 10" rims run 7-7.5" bs. Normally I wouldn't think the cut coil would not matter, but with it sticking this much out, I would. I seriously doubt you will find a single person on this site that has experience running that wheel size/tire combo.

4 inches to the outside will make it look like a dually truck, don't so it. You need 7.5 BS to make it work and look right.
