HELP What size to go with

I need o here what is the biggest possible tire size i can put on the rear of a 1991 RS. I would like to go with 325/55/16 if they even make that size combo. I would also like recomendations for some cookie cutters for the front

You aren't thinking you're going to be able to put these on the stock rims are you?

I say its going to be very difficult without some serious fender rolling and fenderwell "massaging." Those tires are 30" in diameter and about 13" wide. You sure they make a tire that size for 16" rims?

I have monroe air shocks so i can lift the *** end quit a bit so the fenders are no problem. They are not going on stock rims. I am going to use a hub spacer also. I just dont understand the combo of numbers. Are they 325/60/16 325/50/16 that middle number is confusing me i know what it is just not how they apply it. the smallest i want to go with is 305
