MT Drag Radials

[Cazbah362]

Question:
Will 295/65/R15's MT Drag radials on factory cop car wheels fit under the rear of a factory 1970 Cuda? If not what are the largest tire size that will?

I am assuming there is only one backspace for these wheels, I believe they are 4.5?

I am guessing everything is stock on the car. I would say most likely. Your springs could be dropped a little if they are original, etc. The best way to know is to try them on.

 

[Cazbah362]

Yes, at this time everything is stock.

Are you referencing sagging springs?

The plan is to try them on.

 

[challenger6pak]

Yes, I was referring to the possible spring sag.

I would be surprised if the 295/65 fit with stock spring location and stock cop rim. Test fit and see. Check both sides. Tires will likely rub somewhere. I also think the cop rims are too narrow for the tire.
I have 295/65 with springs moved in 1", the wheel well lip massaged a bit, cop rims widened to 8", and custom offset. Still snug, but no rub.
