What I have is a 1964 dodge 330 what I'm running into is Tire clearance when turning . On the front of edge of fender it rubs .What tires I have are m/t et front tire # 3008 they are 29 in With weld wheel 15x4 2.25 bs .I'm think I need 27.5 tire part # 3009 but not sure it will have enough clearance .

I've run the 29". It depends on the wheel offset. I would be very suprised if a 27.5" wouln't fit. You could always nip the front lower corner of the fender. Your car looks pretty nice so that may not be an option. You can trim it with no paint damage if you go slow.

You can also very easily push the fender out by adjusting or fabricating a longer fender strut/brace. This alone might do it and it will probably not be noticable.

I make them out of 1/2" aluminm drink/coiled tubing. Just smash the ends flat and drill holes where needed et........Easy to do.
