Will a 325/50/15 fit my 03 gt?
I just bought some 15x10s and was wanting to put on some 325/50/15s. Just wanting to know if they will fit. I dont mind making room for them if they are close. thanks.

Yes..... but you will want to make some clearance for sure. Start by rolling the crappola out of your fenders and do some research on what others have done to make such a tire fit on a New Edge.

<--- has Window open too long and Sharad beat me to it
Just keep in mind, that is a 28" tire and you are not gonna be able to have any drop in rear springs without rubbing. That is a somewhat common size tire on the New Edge for drag, but soft/lowered springs out back will rub around the top of fenders.

^^LOL!!
Dude, 325/50s are HUGE. If you're not willing to clearance the rear wheelwells, I'd suggest moving to 275/60s or 295/55s. You can stand your car up on the bumper with 275s and good suspension. There's really no benefit to running the 325/50 if you're not super serious about drag racing. (unless you're just going for "the look" in which case I'd say you have to pay to play)

i know this thread is a couple weeks old, but just thought i'd post my experience, cause i'm working on making the same size tire fit right now...
i've got Eibach Sportlines with Granatelli lower weight jackers, with the perches run all the way up. tires still rub. as a matter of fact, they stick out the side a little bit with a 6.5" offset. so the easy fix would be to get a narrower tire right? well, i'm not one to go the easy route... enter 88 GT rear end. bolts right up, just need to pick up some 5-lug axles. so i've got the wheels mounted on the rear end. now, it rubs the INNER fender well, and my exhaust. so what i'm facing right now is either massaging or removing some material on the inner fender well. it doesn't seem to be rubbing too much, so i don't think a mini-tub is necessary here. just a little work. as for the exhaust, i'm still trying to figure out if i wanna dump right out of the mufflers or maybe have it exit just behind the axle.

Ok i got my tires on. The rear driver side will rub when i pull in a drive with a steep incline. normal driving i have no issues. i got the 295/55/15. They look real nice ( perfect in my opinion). I will have to work the lips alittle but nothing thats going to up set me. They hook like a glue. Next mods is going to be a complete k member kit from upr and the complete pro rear kit. Then some major hp mods.
