BFG Drag Radial on 15's

Have anybody put a 315/60/15 on with a stock length rear? I need to get a set of rims for a 1986 Camaro with a Moser 12 bolt rear and that is the tire I would like to run. Let me know what you did to make it fit and what rim you used. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Ken

with lots of "massaging" it will fit. i would run a 15x10 rim with a 5.5" backspacing.

Car: 87 IROC - 67 Camaro
Engine: 383 TPI - ZZ4 TPI
Transmission: 700R4 in both cars
Axle/Gears: 3.27 - 3.36 posi in both cars
That's the size I wanted but I figured it wouldn't fit. So I went with a 275-50/15 DR Goodrich. Mounted them on a cheap set of 15x8 chrome rims. No problem, but it's close!!! But my car has 1 1/2" lower springs (Hotchkis) all the way around.

Thanks for the picture MW. I got to ask to did he mini tub the car or just clean up under the wheel wells to make them fit. That car does work I think I saw it at Cecil last year. Any info about that car that your friend is willing to share about the chassis would be appreciated and by the way how light did he get the car.
Thanks, Ken
