I ran them on my 69 Charger in the past,,,,this was on a 8" rim though,,,( probably should be on a 10" ? ) No issues as far as clearance,,, I went to a bigger tire,,,295/65/15 and like it alot more,,,really fills the wheel well up,,,no rub issues,,,

Here is a pic of 325/50/15's on my roadrunner. Its a 15X10 with 5.5" BS
Any side pics? How much room do you have between the tire and quarter/wheelhouse? I want mine to sit a couple inches lower than stock.

Between the quarter and the tire I have a bout 3/4", between the inside of the tire and the wheelwell I had to bend the flange in so it wouldn't rub I have probably 1/2" space there
Sweet, I think I can make it work. Thanks for the pics!

Most guys have to raise to fit a tire like that. If you want to go lower than stock, I think you are going to run into problems.
