Tire size question

I want to get 295's or 315's for the rear on new 15x10 rims but i want to keep the stock overall diameter.(can be slightly smaller than stock) Any suggestions on what tires i could get?

ps. i was also thinking about getting the 16.5"x9.75" rims, but really don't know what kind of tire will give me stock diameter or less.

------------------

14x4 K&N open air element filter-the best mod so far
Eibach springs with KYB's all around.

Run a best of 16.7 @85mph with traction problem. Have to try again sometime.

A 295/50/15 is about the biggest street tire you can get without going with more of a "strip tire".
I suggest you check out some at Tirerack.com

They have seveal 295/50/15's for under $100.
The BFG radial T/A sounds good to me.

A 295/50/15 is within .5" of the stock diameter.
There aren't to many other options for larger sizes.
