Anyone running BFG drag radials 325/50/R15?

I just installed some Goodyear Eagles 275/60/R15 on 10x15 wheels w/ 5.25" backspacing on my '69 442. I still have plenty of clearnace and was considering the B.F. Goodrich Drag Radial 325/50/R15. I was wondeing if anyone has had any experience running these tires and any pictures. Thanks!

A 325-50 will be little wide for thr 68-69 body. I had a 295-50 on my old 69 and it maxxed out the wheelwell pretty well. Unless you are going to jack up the rear 80's style, you will have problems cutting the sidewall on the outer lip.

a 325 will fit just fine as they are pretty much the same dimension tire its what I have on my 77 cutlass

Tire Size Comparison
Specification===Sidewall====Radius===Diameter===Ci rcumference====Revs/Mile===Difference
275/60-15====== 6.5in==== 14.0in===== 28.0in===== 87.9in========= 720===== 0.0%
325/50-15====== 6.4in==== 13.9in===== 27.8in===== 87.3in========= 726===== -0.7%
