I have a 64 Belvedere. Everything is stock in the suspension. I want to put 275/60 radials on and not have any problems. I have 15x8 rear wheels with 4.5 backspacing. The tires are rubbing the inner quarter panels. Any suggestions ? I thought that this size wheel was supposed to clear with a 275/60 tire.

Spacers would just make it worse.....its already hitting the quarters on the inside. The 70 Charger rear might work. Any idea on what all year housings will work as in which ones are a tad shorter than the factory 64 Housing ?

My bad as I read it too fast and thought it was hitting inner wheel housing. Can you bend in the wheel lip to get enough room or is that something you do not want to do?

Its not the lip, its on up inside it. The car sits down over the tire.

65 to IIRC 68 are the shortest. 69 up rears are wider.When I cut the Dana Ill cut it 1/2 inch shorter than my OE 65 housing thats now in my kids 62 300.He has 10 inch wide tires under it and has plenty of room.His other set of tires was about 10 1/2 wide and cleared.I have a 69 housing under my 65 and its wider than the 65 one.Rocky

The '64 B-body rear end is wider than pre-'71 B-body rear ends.
B-body overall widths drum-to-drum:
'64 = 60 7/8" (Exc.Max Wedge) '65-'67= 59 1/2" '68-'70= 60 1/8"

JC the 70 will work but its wider.I have a 69R/T rear under the 65.Only reason I used it was because I bought it DtoD for 35 bucks and it had the large axles compared to the 65s.I can almost get 5 1/2 BS 10 inch wide rims under the 65.They are close to the spring.On the 65 rear they would hit.Rocky

A-body standard width is quite a bit narrower at 57 1/8" overall, with typical BBP axles it's closer to 58"...might have a problem with tires rubbing the inner wheelhouse.

Wish I saw this last week!
Does anyone know of an adapter that allows the older dog dishes to work on the newer style wheel?
I epoxied a couple of later dog dishes inside a pair of the larger ones for use on my 15x8 Wheel Vintiques wheels.
