Say you have a tire that has a section width of 12 inches on an 8 inch wheel. If you put the same tire on a 10 inch wheel how much does it usually change the section width? Make it bigger, smaller, etc? Thanks 72 RR, Pump gas 440, 452s, 3800 lbs, Corked, ET Radials,. 11.33@117.72. Same car, bone stock 346s, 9.5 comp, baby solid. 12.24@110.

Ten inch are 5 3/16 on the back side, twelves are 6 3/16. to make the twelve inch rims and tires fit I have to raise the rear up around 2 inches higher, luckily the rear suspension is a coil over hook to a multi point attacment that I can raise up and down with two bolts and two jacks Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
