325-50 or 295-55

[JLear]

I have a set of 15x10 dark stars with the correct backspacing for a s197 and I'm thinking about removing the bias plies and replacing with a radial et street and running them on the street some. Just needing a little advice on what size to get and any fitment issues. I'm looking to get a 325-50-15 if it will fit and if not I will have to go with a 295-55. My car is a 2011 gt500 and it's 100% stock suspension. Mainly looking for the big and little look on the street and some extra traction if I choose to stretch its legs a little bit. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

295's are plent big for the looks IMO. Pic from when I first put mine on:

slicks are more forgiving on our cars

325s will fit but probably more than you need.

Thanks for the pic sir, those look really good on your car!

Yeah certainly more than I need, but I love the way they look! I have some 26" and 28" bias ply et streets already, just looking for something so I can use the track wheels on the street. You really should just sell me yours lol.

Love the 325's on my 07. Takes a little work to get them to fit but they look monsterous from the rear.

Had 325's on Bogart 10" in the pic below. Went to 295's last year. The 295's hooked every bit as good as the 325's and looked a little better since they didn't hang out as far.

Thanks guys for the pics and info, I will not do any mods to make the 325's, if they won't work with my car as is ill go with the 295's.

I have no idea about the 2011+, but with the 05-09 you have to cut the bump stop bracket otherwise it rubs.

I have a buddy that has some 325's on some welds and I assume they're the same size and backspacing, I could ask him to try his and see how they fit.
