Max rear tire width
I am just making sure I can run a 275/60/15 in the back of my '78.
will it fit a stock car? and will it fit with my new rear 360Lb spring lowered about an inch? anyone running them let me know. espesially if you are lowered!
thanks

I am running 275/60/15 on the rear and it works well and they fill up the rear wheel well nicely. The only problem I have is the fender rubbing ever so slightly on really hard bumps but this is because the wheels is moved out half an inch with a spacer to clear the caliper. If I wasn't running the spacers I would have no problem at all with an rubbing issues. What wheels are you running? If you are running stock wheels you shouldn't have a problem.

check this out on the 275/60/15....looks like the only possible issue is the parking brake brakcet.
