if you get the backspacing just right, you'll be able to fit the largest tire possible. any larger than that, and you've got trouble, mister.

I have a 73 with cal trac mono leafs, I put a 1/8 in spacer between the spring perch and the spring pocket on the front of the spring. I can fit a 30X9 Hoosier radial in it with a 15X8 wheel with 4.5 back space.

thanks for the info. for now i will be running the mopar 002/003 super stock springs.so it sounds like my weld drag lights that are a 15x8 wheel with 4.5 back space and some M/T 275/60/15 E/T street drag radials would fit then? got any pics of your car? thanks Mopar65

i have a '75 and I was able to get a 28x10.5 MT ET drag under it on a 15x8. I had a b body 8 3/4 so I had 5.5 for backspacing.
