      285/40/18

      I think I may just play it safe and go with the 285/40/18.
      As much as I'd like to have a 315 out back, if it rubbed
      then I'd have to make room and then I'd want to run
      a 345 out back... $$$... where does it end?

      Aaron,
      Looks like you have quite the project in the works. I've always thought that the '70 to '72s were some of the nicest 'Birds built. If I read correctly, it sounds like you're using the torque arm suspension from the '01 TA. Am I right? If so, you will have to post some (nooo.... a lot of) pictures in the suspension forum. The Gen 3 & 4 guys seem to be able to make this suspension system work well. I'd be interested in what you have to do to get it stuffed into an earlier model.

      If there is a hard way to do something, I'll find it!

      I am running 17x11's in the back with 315's and have no rubbing problems and with a little massaging(rolling the fender and maybe mobing the upper shock mount in) I am convinced that I can fit a 335.
