Default 275/60/15 or 325/50/15?

Hey guys, I need some help. I"ve done a search multiple times, no luck.

I have an extra set of rear bogarts in the garage, 7.5 backspacing. I want to put some tires on them for the street. My other set has 26x10.50/15's on them. But on these I want a 28" tire. I need to know if 325/50/15's will fit or not. If not I'm just going to get the 275/60/15's. I have an adjustable phr and non adjustable lca's. The rear is stock length and no mini tub. Which tires should I get?

You need to beat in the inner fender a lot to make them fit but search for 325/50/15. i have them and they fit and so do a lot of other guys. You might have to run a small 5/16'' spacer so they dont rub on turns, but they do fit.

I rolled the fenders and beat the inner fenders just a little bit. It was nothing too bad at all really. But I have adjustable LCA's and an adjustable PHR.

Get the 275-60-15s ...The 325s are alot heavier and not worth the extra hassle ...I just switched back to the 275s myself

**** Eddie, me and you are in the same boat. I have the 275's right now but they are almost gone. I wanna spray a 275 out of the hole but I don't think the 275's are gonna hold that. So, I was thinking of the 325's....I don't know anyone that will roll fenders though...

I have a fender rolling tool I would rent to you. It's super easy to use and I rolled both my fenders in about an hour.

I have 325/50/15 m/ts on my 94 z28. All I had to do was beat the inner fender - corner with a huge hammer and roll the top fender lip. At first I did not roll my fenders - thinking it would be okay but took it for a test and it cut into my tire pretty bad. I'm also running rear air-lift bags which will raise the rear alittle giving the tires even more cleareance

Your car must be lowered a bit much if the upper fender lip are cutting into your tires.

I'm running the same size tire set up without rolling the fender lip. I have stock springs w/1 coil cut. All that was done was alot of BFH inside fenderwell as you mentioned.
