THe wheel wheels are stock and the wheel openings are stock. If they will fit what wheel backspace should i use. THe rearend is a stock width 8 3/4.

You could bend the lip up and be real carfull plus do some trimming on the inside. Keep in mind that is a tall tire for an A body. It'll be really tight. 7634999-IMG_3514_1_1.JPG (65 downloads)

You should mini tub it if you moved the springs inboard , you are still hindred by the size of the wheel wells .

I had a custom 15x8 rally wheel with 6 inches of BS with the springs in the stock location. They fit with about 3/4" of room on each side. The 275s would probably fit since they are about 5/8" wider overall. This equates to less that 3/8" wider per side. I wouldn't expect to do any cornering or off road trailblazing though.
