Are they centered in the wheel well?

I remember moving the axle back in Darts to fit a tall tire. Is that the case with Coronets too or will a 29" tire fit in there without modification?

i run Mickey Thompson 29x15x15.5but i had my housing narrowed and tubbed it (69 RR) the height on the tub is the same as stock and it will rub with out, dare i say it, air shocks.

Plymouths vs dodge have different wheel wells.
Dad has 275/60 15's with some room to spare (15X8 wheels I believe). My super bee has 295/50/15 on a 10 inch wheel. Doesn't fill the wheel well up and down, but inside to outside it is at its limits.
