Re: [Chevelle-list] rear tires

[Clint Hooper]

My suggestion is to find some wheels with more backspacing. You really need around 4.5" to run a 265 or 275 tire without worrying about clearance problems.

They have a 3.5" backspacing.   I want to put some meaty tires in the rear. What size tires would fit nice with out rubbing.   I'm guessing a 265/60/15 or something around that size.   SUGGESTIONS PLEASE  ;)   Thanks, Kyle
