We can fit 11.0 wide under the rear of a Camaro easily. For a 325 tire, you'll want 11.5-12.0 wide wheels to make the contact patch the widest. With some guys running 9 second ET's on a 275 drag tire, I'm not certain there is a need for the 325 wide. Most will do just fine on a 305 or 315 drag tire. As any drag racer knows, you want to use the minimum amount of tire needed to maintain traction. Narrower tires weigh less, and will net a better ET/Trap if traction is there.
