I am trying a friends set of Hoosiers radials 30 x 9 on steel rims 4 1/2 off set. They fit in the wheel well but they rub the outside inner well just a little. I'm using stock location on the springs and would rather not mini tub. What tire and wheel combo are you 66 67 B body guys using? Any help appreciated.

Ever so slight rubbing going around corners from the outer wheelhouse. But, I also keep them at something near 30psi on the street. Michael

Springs in stock location, stock wheelwells and no alteration of the front of the wheelwell. Completely removed the inner lip on the quarterpanel.

Also if you dont slow down enough before you turn around at the end of the track, they'll rub very slightly in the outer wheel house.

I think a 28x9/15 on a 7 or 8 inch rim will work without hassle. Anything bigger is gonna be Hit and miss. In the fenderwell picture above, you can see that tire is rubbing pretty good (28x10?)

I think the Coronets are diff. too. Dodge quarter panels bulge out compared to a pretty straight Plymouth quarter panel. I've got 10" wide tires on my '66 Belvedere on Centerline rims and they just barely rub. That's next years project..

Just be aware that although the qtr panel skin bulges out on the coronet, the inner wheel house bulges in toward the tire. Don't know why they did it that way, but they did.
