69/69 Super Bee with big rear tires - 01/02/14 01:36 AM

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?

Wade through this. Discussed pretty thoroughly.

Stock wheel wells. 275/60/15. I forget the back spacing.

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.

OhioMopar that almost looks like the rear of my old Bee.In fact its almost identical to my Bee.Mine had a white vinyl top.IIRC the tires were almost 12 inches.Still miss that car.Sold it in rust free running perfect condition for 850 and laughed that I got so much.Rocky
