Hey guys I'm getting started working on my 68 Coronet, I've looked around and can't find a definite answer, does anybody know if a 295/65/15 will fit using SS springs.. if any of you do run this on a Coronet or super bee and it doesn't rub what is your rim specs as well. Thanks guys.

I just put a set of N50s on my RT for looks and they are about 11.5 wide but only 27 or so tall. They are on 10 inch Cragars with 4.25 (I think) backspace, plenty of room all around and it could easily handle the extra heigth. I running the original springs that were stacked heavy for racing back in the day (eight leafs), might have given it a little heigth onver stock but not much just stiffer. I have seen 295/65s mount on a lot of B bodies and love the look, I'd like to run them myself, not sure what springs they are running but doesn't look special. twocents
