Tires and wheel question.
[QUOTE='64 Cuda]Keith Mopar,
Another question for everybody out there. How much clearance do you feel is necessary between the sides of the tire & the inside of the wheelwells to get by on the street?[/QUOTE]
I have now moved my spring in for more clearence. I had 16 X 8 on rims on the rear which I have now sold, but had 245 50 16's on the back.
My new rims will be 9" wide, and will only have 1/2, on the back side for clearence, and about 1/4 on the outside. I figure that under hard cornering, that they could move that much, so I will install a panhard to keep things in place.
Yes I'm running an 8 3/4, I also have a rear sway bar, and can hopfully get dual exhaust back threw there as well.
If you are going to run a 29 inch tall tire you may have to move the rear end back an 1" to 1.5"'s.
I'm running big Wilwood dics all round, with Yukon axles. to get the 4.5 pattern.
