I just purchased a set of 15x8's with 4.5" bs for the satellite. I plan on putting 255/60's on them. I currently run the same tire on a 15x7 w/ 4-1/4" bs, and I have a good 3/4" clear.
I'll post up with pics when I get them mounted.

The 66 has convo-pro's, can't remember the size, but my brother was so paranoid about not wanting it to rub, he went with 235/70 street tires, all bulged out to fit the wheel. It's been 12.40's on these, but if it spins even a little, let off and coast down track, it'll never recover!
Won't rub with 5 people and luggage, but I think it looks terrible.

I've been able to take the car for a drive with the drag radials on it and they clear fine on the street. I've gone over bumpy railroad crossings with no rubbing. I've tried getting them to rub by every twist and turn that I could and no rubbing yet. I haven't got to do any runs at the track yet because of the pinion angle being way off. It's at 10 degrees nose down compared to the trans output shaft. It's got a definite driveline vibration. The new longer u-bolts and 6 degree shims showed up (along with the MSD 6AL2) Friday. I'm hoping to get the shims installed tomorrow, other life issues have been taking up all my time.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

On my 67 Belvedere Wagon I was able to fit my brothers Phoenix slicks 28.5 x 9. They have a 12.5" section width and had 1/2 clearance inside and out. This was a 8" rim with 4.5 back space I plan on running either the Hoosier 28 x 9 or Mickey 28 x 9 as the section width is less. This will give me a little more room. What is the section width on your drag radials. Just curious.
Ok
