Well all the studying / measuring FINALLY paid off for me today as it worked out just as I hoped...
The Tire - Mickey Thompson 29.5" tall and the exact tire width comes in at a enormous 13 5/8 Section width and 11+ tread width..,
The Rear - Dana 60 cut to 54 5/8 flange to flange and the perch centers are 44"
(I will have to check my records for each actual axel length)
Suspension Mods - Dr. Diff 1" relo Kit and Caltracs Split monoleafs with the Caltrac Bars and 9 way Rancho RS9000 shocks and mounted on upper hole on the front spring hanger for a lower ride height...
Rims - 15*10 Centerline Convo Pros with 5" backspace
Wheelwell lips rolled some but a stock wheelwell...
Clearance - To the outside wheelwell is easily 3/4+ on the pass side and over a 1" on the drivers side
To the springs its 3/8 to the pass spring and and "about" 3/8 to the drivers spring.
Now the rule of thumb is 1/2 clearance on each side and with a minimal thickness wheel spacer clearance will be easilly achievable and outside wheelwell wont be an issue....
Its 26 5/8 ride height on the rear wheelwell lip...
I dont know how well the pics will do justice but im totally stoked......... yes the tire is 13 5/8 width measured several times around the tire..
I knew I could get it done just took alot of racking my brain
