Chevelle Wheel question

[Bill Howell]

Thanks Clint. I was measuring some today and it looks like I have right at 13" to work with, so I can get a decent tire under it without doing a lot of tubbing, etc.

Mr. Howell you need to put a set of those 390/40/17 M & H drag radials on something.. you'd be even more the man! BTW this is FknCrackhead from HPT...

Mr Howell?????? That would be my Dad......lol

390/40s???????? Geez that is wide......
That won't fit anything I got.....lol
I am trying to get as big as possible, tall as possible tire under a stock tub 70 chevelle.

They will fit mine but I've heard the 390/40's aren't much wider than my 335/35 Kumhos.

Bill,try a pair of 18x11's with 6.25" backspace and some 315 tires. On the front,run some 18x9.5's with 5.75" backspace and 275/35 tires. That will fill up the fenderwells.

Clint, Do you know anything about the Nitto 555R 305/45/18 ?
Sounds and looks like a great choice for a 18" drag radial if it will actually hook.

Nitto's drag radials are pretty decent but I don't know much about that particular size,Bill. A 305/45 sounds kinda tall,though.

i have them on my T/A, and traction is limited to say the least.
