t-5 and 3.73's?

275/60/15
or
295/65/15

Lookin at the Mickey Thomson section in summit

the 295 is equivalent to a 30" tall tire, and the 275 to a 28".

Would a 30" tall tire be too much for 3.73's?

basically I want to stuff the fattest tire in the back as possible, think a 325 would clear with the perfect offset wheel?

you think a 275 would fit in the back on a gt? if anything I eould probably have to remove the quad shocks huh? I don't think I can pull of a 275 though

yeah those would be just right...26" diameter and the 275s should fit fine.
