Hey folks

I was just wondering, how well a M/T 295 65 15 drag radial on a 15X10 Weld draglite with 5.5 back spacing fit under my 69 super bee? Stock 8 3/4 rear end with leaf springs in original perches.

I got the same tire on a 15X8 rim with 4.5 back spacing on my old 1970 Coronet, but it was tight, but fit well and looked good on the car.

Thanks as always,

Mike

Should have the same amount of room on both cars. I believe that's the right offset for a 10" rim on a B body. I know the tire will fit, just a matter of the rim. I don't think you're gonna have any problem though. Might have to trim the inner lip of the wheelwell at the top a little.
