Do you have tires wider than 325 on your 68 or 69 Cutlass/442?

I'm interested in putting at least a 325 tire on the rear of my 1969 442. The car will have ride tech air bags all around, but the fenders aren't rolled, the rear end is stock width and no mods to the frame. I'm going for the look of this car. A little jacked up in the back, but not ridiculous. This car has 325/50 R15's in the back, unknown mods. Below are pictures of the sample car, in case the link below doesn't work.

If you have 325+ wide tires on your 68 or 69 Cutlass, how do you like the setup? What mods do you have to accommodate the 325+? Can you share a picture please?

Thanks!

Being tucked that much I’d bet there’s some serious sheet metal work in the trunk, relocated shocks, etc.

I'm running 245/60-15s on 15x7 OEM wheels. I have 1" taller springs front and back. I have no issues with rubbing at all, but that is likely due to the taller springs.
