well it just so happens I have that same set up, I should be getting the tires mounted on the prostars soon, Ill let you know. I have a slight lowering I think.. like only .25-.5 inches.

you will probably have to roll the fenders

I had 315x60x15 BFG DR monsters on my stang at one time, and I had to remove the quad-shocks, do some minor messaging to the inner fender-well:-D ...and roll the lip and run a 5/16 spacer...Here's a pic of what my stang looked like with those big tires ....DA snake boy!!!!

They're overkill and will stick out past the fender. Do you have the matching mullet to go along with that look...like Joe Dirt?

A 275/60-15 is more than you'll need and it will tuck inside the fenderwell.

This is how 325s should look...IMHO

it was for inner fender clearance.....And may I add, if you're running rear coil-overs, forget about running that big of a tire. You can go with a .75 spacer, to clear the coil-overs, but the car will look friggin wet-back.....DA snake boy!!!

plan on it in the future when I get a 4 link suspension and shorten the axles for the tubbing so it is tucked in but til then

The 275 is just as tall, weighs less and can be tucked for a much cleaner look.
oh well, I dont plan on staying with this power level, plan on a SC as well so it doesnt bother me

Why do you guys buy tires that big? A 315/60 is a 30" tall tire! I'm with na svt on this one.
Trust me, when they came off the truck, I just looked at them and yelled "LORD HAVE MERCY!!!":xpl: ....I didnt think they would be that tall:lol1: ....Once I got the spool installed, I couldnt use them anymore, so I gave them to my pal, and now he's stuck with them:-D .....29" tires is the biggest you should go.....DA snake boy!!!!
