That would be 5.5" having the stock rear end. It's pretty tight though so you better use a pan hard bar.
12sec67 is running 315's on his stock wheel wells. So I would think you could get a 275 in there w/o having to worry about a panhard barmdjay said:

It's the position of the 9.5" rim in relation to the qp's, springs and fender wells. You want to limit the movement or something will eventually go wrong.
I've cut a tire to the chord and tore into my qp before. But hey it's your car, do what you want!

In the Summit catalog it says the Kumho 275/40/17 fits rim size 9-11." Same rim size for BFG g-Force, Hoosier Drag Radials, and MT ET street. The Yokahama AVS ES 100's says 9-10.5"
Geno, Can you post some pics of the Rims and tires on your car? What size tire/rim do you have on the front?
Thanks.
