91 Camaro rs. Rear tire size question..

Wanting to put bigger tires on the back. Currently running weld 5 stars 10x8s and m/t s,s 255x60,15s and want to run nittos 325x50,15s and I'm lowered 1/1¹/⁸th inch in the back. Any idea if they will clear?

Any reason you want to go bigger, assuming you still have the 305? A 325 likely won't fit without sticking out or interfering with the panel flange.

They will not
i have a 325 nitto here i was gonna mock up, next to my 275 pro radial it’s giant! And the 275 pro fits the well pretty good. I can fit a 295/55 well but nothing more than that without tub work
