I never tried to fit "big" tires on my '69 RR, but all the fitment comments above seem to mirror what I've found w/ my '73 Chally (standard location springs and stock ride height).

8" w/ 4.5" backspace works with a tire up to about 11.5" sidewall; a typical 275/60 is about 11", and 29.5" x 9" slick is about the same, a 295/60(?) was 12" and too tight a fit w/o messing w/ the inner fender lips

10" w/ 5.5" backspace and 275/60 is also about 12" sidewall, but the shorter tire fits a little better... still modded the inner fender lips for a little more room at the top

Lots of good info! Thanks everyone, I'll stew on all of it, take some more measurements.
