Can anyone tell me what is the biggest rear tire you can fit in a 66 Coronet where the stock tubs have been widened just to the frame rail? I don't want to modify it any more than that. I'm hoping to run at least a 10-11" slick, 29-30" tall on a 10" rim.

Basically it is the same with a 67 Coronet - I got 325x15x60s M/T drag radials under mine after moving in the inner wheel well and springs to the frame using the relocation kit.

you'll be able to run the largest possible. any larger than that, and there'll be big trouble.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

Gentlemen, thanks for the replies. My car is a two door post, and I just picked it up today. Jim and Dave, hope my car turns out as nice as yours.

Jamie, your's look pretty sharp, too. The 66 and 67 Coronets are probably my favorite Mopar!
