68gts383: I am going thru this also. I have a recent purchase a 65 Dart roller w the springs/perches relocated way to the inside of the frame rails. Do I need to throw a wheel/tire on there & see how much sidewall clearance I have to the half moon circular wheel wells on each side? This is my 1st time w this & it seems like I would run out of available space on the wheel wells(on the inside part at least) way before I would come close to hitting these (relocated) springs.

OK I measure from the ball (the bulge) of the sidewall to the wheel well lip on each side & need 3/4" clearance on each side then I need that(the outside measurement) amount more rim width for the outside and on the inside I need that(inside measured amt) more rim width which would be an increase in backspacing of that (measured) amount?. EDIT So If I have 2&3/4" measured on the inside and 3&3/4 on the outside & my test rim is 4&1/2 wide w 3" backspacing I need a 9&1/2" rim w a 5" backspacing?.
