i found a really good deal on some 325/50/15 m/t dr's and was wondering if i can get them to fit on a 10" wide wheel without them sticking out and no mini tubbing? what kinda backspacing would i need and how much beating would i have to do on the inner fender wheel (i am not afraid to be them to oblivian, just don't want to cut/weld). i cannot stand tires that stick out so that's not an option. can i get these to fit?

 

325 is too wide for the 10 inch wheel imo

 

remember. this is a 15" wheel, not an 18-20incher. this tire has quite the sidewall which is very fogiving when it comes to smaller wheels, unlike the smaller sidewalls of the tires for the said larger wheels. however, i am not trying to put these on an 8" rim. M/T suggests a 10" rim for these tires. remember, these are a 28" tall tire too. Drag Racing guys, i need your input. as much as i appreciate the input from the lowered guys with big wheels, unless you have experience with drag wheel tire combos, please don't comment.

 

maybe try the drag racing/autox board..

 

Yea I think it could fit I see people with 315's on 10"wide 15" tall wheels. Just make sure you get the right BS so the wheel does not stick out!

 

your 275's are on stock 15x7 z rims w/o rub or modification correct?

I'd love to see those 325's out back, holy cow...

 

yeah, me too. i just picked up a set of 15x5/15x8 draglites for $310 shipped, so maybe next year i will get some 15x10's to get some bigger meats outback. those 325's would look sick!

and just for referrence, these are the 275/60's on my stock z28 wheels:

 

i know its not a 3rd gen but these are a set of 315's

 

if it's not on a 15" rim, it's a whole nother animal. the sidewall bulge is completely different. which is where i would have trouble with rubbing.

 

I HAVE A SET OF 15X10 WELD WHEEL THAT WHERE ON MY CAMARO....5.5 INCH BACK SPACING....EMAIL BE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED?? WHEEL ARE IN GREAT SHAPE....IM SENDING YOUR MONEY ORDER OUT TODAY TOO.....

 

thanks man, but i am flat broke after buying the wheels i just did and the tranny this weekend. the money order you are sending me back will probably be for a full tank of gas.

 

If that’s the car that I think it is, he actually had his rear wheel wells flared slightly to fit those tires without modifying the inner wheel wells.

FWIW, I would strongly suggest bracing the rear seat latch points together before pounding on the rear wheel wells too much. I’ve seen tons of f-bodies the rear seats won’t latch right after pounding on the wells, and even if you don’t intend to reinstall your rear seats I think that most of us will agree that you don’t really want to be moving things around indiscriminately

 

really? i had no idea that was an issue. how would you go about bracing that?

 

A local guy had an LS1 running around on some 325/50/15 BFGs last year. Pretty sure it was on a 15x10 7.5" BS Draglite.

Not sure what inner fender mods had to be done, but you should be able to fit them with a 15x10 on a 5.5" BS.

If anyone wants to ship the wheels and tires [and allow a couple of passes to test ], I'll figure out what needs to be done on my car. I've already shaved down the bumpstop mounts to the minimum allowable and took off the stops to fit the wheels I ran last year.

I drove it around a couple hundred miles last year on some 275/50/15 Hoosiers on a 15x9 5.5" BS Draglite XP and didn't have any bottoming out issues. The tires would've cleared with the car on the ground, but I had to cut a good amount off the mounts and put in an adjustable PHB to fit them with any type of suspension travel.
