Anybody run this tire on their stock wheel wells, suspension and rearend length? I have regular radials on my car that are this size and don't have any problems but want to mount a pair of MT Drag radials.
 
I have the ET street radials on 7" rims. 73 Dart Swinger. With an 8 3/4 rear upgraded to big bolt (slightly wider) I had to roll the wheel well lips. If you are using standard width rear it should clear fine.
 
Mine had those one the car when I bought it. Factory wheel wells, stock A body 8-3/4, everything stock in the rear. Wasn't any clearance issues.
 
235 60R 15s. MT Drag Radials.

I tried it with factory 15x7 with 4 1/4'' backspace steel wheels and they would rub hitting dips in the road surface and on turns. I went with 15x6'' factory steel wheels(painted Blue) and no problems. All suspension in the rear was 1964 stock with new bushings.. 235/60/15 BFG drag radials.

Maybe the Valiant has a little more real estate in the wheel wells. I'm running 15x7s with 4 1/4 backspace and clear pretty well on both sides of the tire.
