Tire clearance

BartHoleMy, thank you for clarifying the backspacing of the rear wheel. I also noticed the folded wheel well lip.

15x8 with a 4.25” backspace and 235’s rub on my 66 Barracuda so I was wondering how you fit 255’s.

245 50 16 in the rear. I have disc brakes in the rear and I believe I have Moser axles that are .125" longer so effectively my back space is 4.875" when compared to stock.

I found a wheel that got me as close to the leaf spring as possible and clearanced the tire with a fender roller and a wood baseball bat.
