Thread: Maybe too big?

I have a 70 nova, stock multi leaf suspenision with traction bars.

I have a question on tire fitment does anyone know if a 15x10 wheel with 4 inch backspacing and a P325/50/R15 Radial will fit or not?

thanks

Probably not without cutting and tubbing. 32.5" is a lot o' tire. I've been wrong plenty of times before in my life though, so somebody else may be able to give you a more definitive answer.

Good Luck,

Should go with mini tubs.

You will HAVE to mini tub it and you may want to go a bit more on the 4 inch backspacing because it will hit the outter fenderwell. Mini tub it and narrow the rear end and you will not have any problems. Now if you go with a 15X9 or maybe 10 and a 285 tire then MAYBE that will fit but I could be wrong about that one. I KNOW the tire size your asking about will not fit.

thanks alot for the replies - im looking to run the widest wheel and tire without having to tub it... this year at least.

Best thing to do is take it to a local wheel shop and see what they can do for you.

You need to use a straight edge and tape measure to see how much space
u have. Take the rear wheels and tires off, have the car at ride height
jack stands under rear housing and measure from the front of the drum
inboard to the spring or wheel tub etc.. and then measure out to the body
that will tell you what back space to use and so on. Worked for me.
