Only Convo Pros and Bogarts fit with no grinding, I got my convos for about $500 bucks and love them, you can get dragstars/lites and they require about 30 minutes a side grinding from what I hear ! I got 8.5 and they stick out about .5 inch on each side is all !

I spent over an hour grinding and test fitting each wheel. It was a PITA. With your gears, I'd probably go with a 28x11.50 or a 28" tall 275/60 unless you want to go with 15x10s, then you can go up to a 28" tall 325/50.
