      For you 64 and 65 chevelle owners

      I am sure it MIGHT be said somewhere on the forum, but I cant find it in the little time I have on the internet at work =) But i was wondering how big of a tire have you stuffed in the back of your car, I want to run a 18/20 combo, and it is a goal of mine to lay the frame out on the gorund with air ride. so tubbing it vertically isnt a big deal, I can raise the tubs if needed, I just want to stay away from narrowing the frame and doing minitubs.. What are you running, and do you have pics??

      You should be safe with a 255, but some have made a 275 work without tubbing. With your combo, I'd probably stick with a 255.

      I put a 275 in mine, but it rubbed too much to roll the car around (but that was on a 15" wheel so there was quite a bit of sidewall bulge).

      A 275/23R20 will fit but you have to nail the backspacing....... sick65's car has a 275 with a trimmed quarterpanel lip and it looks killer under there.......
