Tires and rims

Does anyone no if a 295-50-15 will clear on the 83 Tbird I have a set of 15x8.5 convo pros with a 5 inch backspace there's 265s on it and looks like a lot of room for more tire i don't have quad shocks...

I have 275/60's on some 10 holes on my 86. they do rub under full suspension travel, or if I don't brake for rail road tracks. in my opinion, there just a touch too big. ill be either rolling the fenders or buying a 265/50 size next time.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
