What the heck width rim's are you talking about. My late model ZO-6 has rear 325's on 12" rim's, and are quite the chunk of meat. Have a 70's Oldsmobile with 255/60/15's on 8.5" width rim's, and had to grind the rear inner fender lip's to keep the white letter's from hitting. Think you might want to look into this a little more, such as wheel offset. If you try mounting 325 monster's on to narrow rim's, the sidewall rolls going to look like a cartoon.

It will be at least 10" or possibly 12"
