On an SPF, you just have to be careful with the inner wheel well clearance, meaning inside the wheel well below the outer roll bar mount on the driver's side, and the same general area on the passenger side. If you get any interference, that's where it will be. Also depends on the tire you run. Billboards have a bulging sidewall and tend to sit wider on the wheel as a result. Too much offset may cause interference. Avons (and most radials in general) tend to sit taller and more square, essentially giving you more room to work with.

I am looking at both the Nitto NT555R's and MT ET street R rears and ET street SS for the front. I am trying my best not to mix and match tires but it is difficult. The Nittos could work but they only offer a 275-50-15 and 275-60-15 that could be used for the front. MT offers a 325-50-15 in their ET street R series and then a 255-60-15 in there ET Street SS. All the above are radials.
