Tire width ? for 69 with offset TAs
If I run 8x10 rallies on the back with offset TAs and shortened spring, can I run 295-60-15s and get em flush with and under the stock fenders without hitting the frame rail? If so, what backspace should the rallies have?
Anyone who knows, or more importantly, has done this?

is the rim size your asking about a 15x10? since your requirements are to keep it tucked inside the stock wells and not stick out, i would have to say no. the 295-60-15 tires which are not a common size have a section width @ around 12.6" +/- depending on manufacturer, the tire will be too wide. i am running 18x10 wheels with 5.5" bs , offset ta, short spring on tires with a 10.9" section width. i could probably go with a tire with a 11.4" section width and still keep it aligned with the fender lip. it has been proven that not all cars are the same, some members are able to fit wider / taller tires without problems and others not and had clearance issues. if i were to install your proposed wheel & tire combo on my car, it would probably rub the inner wells and or stickout.
