295/55 M/T DR on a Third gen. Pics?

Does anyone have pics of 295/55 Drag radials on their Third gen? I am thinking of running this size tire and want to know what rim size am I going to need.

Also, What kind of body mods am I looking at to make it fit?

Thanks

lots of mods to fit it, it's a pretty wide tire. Remove bump stop, roll the lip, etc etc.

I have pics all over this site with them on my car, but I've cut out the rear wheel housings pretty much to make tires fit over the years.

So I'd have to mini-tub the car to get them to fit in other words (over and above rolling the fenders, cutting bumpstops)
