Neither; the 295's don't actually fit inside the quarters. I mentioned the tire size so the overall tire height could be determined.
Are they 50s or 60s?
This picture shows the amount of poke:

What backspace do your wheels have? 15x8's? They look like they fill the wheelwell pretty good in your avatar pic.
I can take some tonight she is in the garage so it's level, I just wanted that 70s drag car (stink bug) look.For starters, find some level ground for pics.
Looking at the car, the rear sits nice. Get some 60 series tires on the front, and drop it an 1". Go to go.

I hit the like button . I have 295 60 d15`s on my fastback , the caltrac monoleafs have settled to where the top of the tire is about 1'' up inside the fender well , looks great and darn near sits level. Just had to build/add a .044 shim for one side to stop it from barely rubbing on the inside fender well on pass. side.
if you want it to handle properly leave it at stock height or lower it a bit.
But you didn't want to hear that.
Do you have some pics and part numbers? I would really like to get an idea of what my fastback will look like, my plans also call for the caltracs and their monoleafs.
No, on part #`s , bought everything off of guys on this site , and made them work / offset spring hangars , that a guy said wouldnt work on his A body, massaged the inner fender wells, "from past experiance'' before I bought the tires , stretched the front of the fender wells to the inner fender , have the same contour as stock. before the springs settled ----------------------------------------------295 65 15 drag radials View attachment 1715628120

BeautyGet a pair of 15x7 rallys with a 4.25 backspace and some 255-60's. You might not need more lift. Same tire and springs. Fronts are 14"
