streetstang67 said:What size tire will fit in the rear for a '67 coupe?
MDinDestin said:I agree except for the 305 part. Bic-Mac was kind enough to teach us where we'll get in trouble. He pushed the envelope and found the limit.

and a 55 7/8" shortened rear end with 5" of backspacing
17x11's with 315/35/17's
CornerCarvin67 said:Let's switch it up a little bit... I wanna know how to get the biggest FRONT TIRE on these cars with stock fenders (rolling of lips permitted). I have the 275-40's out back... but I need more grip than the 235's up front are allowing!! Yes, 17" wheels. Is it just a matter of backspacing? What are the mechanical interferences I'd be running into?
