Just thought I would share my findings.
Today I test fitted my Mickey Thompson Drag Radials 275/50/15s with 15x8" wheels with 4.75" Backspacing on my '65, unfortunately they did not fit- all though its really close
Option 1: They will fit if I go with 4.5" backspacing or put a .25" spacer in there, but they will stick out of the fendor another 1/4" which I don't really want. Plus I dont think my wheel studs are long enough to handle putting a spacer in.
Option 2: Go with a smaller Drag Radial- I will start to look for something 255 or less in width.
