Nova mini tubs
Does anyone know what the tallest/widest 15" tire will fit with the DSE mini tubs in a 69 Nova?
Thanks, Steve

My car is mini tubbed but not dse. I currently fit with no issues a 295/65 on an 8" rim.
The first point of contact is the leaf spring even though they are moved in 1 3/4". I have 14" of space in the wheelhouse area. If i went to a ladder bar suspension I could use the whole 14".
Rear is narrowed 1.5" per side. 57" overall width.
71 Ventura.
