I'm thinking of going with larger wheels and tires on my car, probably mini tub it and move the springs.
I think these cars look awesome with a big tire and sitting low.
Got any pics to share?

29x 13.5 on a 15x 12 wheel. I can just barely put my fingers between the tire and lip. But when they get taller they also get skinnier!

it might rub with a 10 inch rim and 30-10.5 slick

im using a 3/8 spacer now

the slicks fitted better on the 8 inch rim than the 12.5 28 m/t street tires

Back when I had a 72 Satelite, I measured from the inner wheel opening flange to the inner wheelhouse wall. Basically, the width of the wheelhouse straight above the axle centerline. AND I got 14 inches!!!

That's already a lot of wheelhouse.

Maybe, you could just go inboard spring kit or add a ladderbar set-up. To me, going back to the leaves and grinding off the welds for the 2 crossmembers for ladderbars is not that big of a deal.

If I did it I would split the stock wheelhouse and of course I want the stock interior to stay, then I was thinking about Dr Diff's 1 1/4 kit.
