Big drag wheels on 91 camaro

Hi guys, I bough a set of drag tires 30x12x15, I am planning to mount them on my camaro but what would be your recommendation? to cut the fender and make them wider or to go to the inside of the car? Help please!! I am from costa rica so I dont want to buy this tires because they are very rare.

Re: Big drag wheels on 91 camaro

I have fit a 30x12.5x15 MT ET bias ply tire on a 10'' rim with 6.5 BS. Without mini tubs. Its tight without rubbing and I had to use NHRA cert. 1/4'' spacers.
Now I have 295/65/15 on the same rims and it is much better. I'll get a pic.

I just realized that it is not the size I wrote at the beginning of the post, the actual size is 29.5x13.5x15. with 10 inch rims.
