I was thinking 15x10 with 5.5 Backspace. I'm probably in the 475 Horsepower range with the new motor so I don't need a huge tire anyway and it's mostly street driven. Thanks guys. Don.

Its going to be close but I think it will work. I am running a 315/65/15 M/T Drag radial (30" x 13-1/2")on a Weld 15" x 12" Magnum 2.0 rear wheels with a narrowed Dana 60. It looks like I'll only have about 1/4' to the leafs & a 1/4 to the wheel well lip. like i said it close but it should work. Drag Radials don't grow like a slick does. 1963 Belvedere 440 Max Wedge Tribute 1970 Charger R/T S.E. 440 Six Pack 1970 Challenger R/T, 528 Hemi 1970 Charger 500 S.E. 440 4 BBL 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 383 1974 Chrysler New Yorker 440 1996 2500 RAM 488 V-10 4X4 2004 3500 Dually Cummins 4x4 2012 Challenger R/T Classic.

He said WITHOUT a doctor offset hanger kit....I don't think it will fit with a big tire....but it might with a 275 tire. I run 10" wheels with a 1-1/4" DR diff offset hanger kit and 10" wide tire (28x12.50 ET STREET) and they are pretty close to the spring. I did try the same tire on an 8" wheel with no offset hangers and had almost no room to the springs either...so I had to add the offset hangers. My 295-50-15's Cooper cobras fit with 8" wheels though and no offset hangers.
