Fuzzy pics are waaay back in 1988. High school.
Then I actually.owned this car for 3 years before I finally made the trek to Texas to get it, as my son refused to bring it to me....Then, on the way back, somewhere in podunk, Tenn. A car load of idiots blows a tire and slams into me. I briefly looked in rearview mirror to see my trailer AND CAR at a 45* angle.....ON A BRIDGE!
hadda tow it home on one axle.

Nice! Thank Goodness nothing worse happened in Tennessee. Love these cars with a little meat in the back. Can’t wait to see it with some tires mocked up
 
You can, you just hafta invest the time and money. This one clears 14" of rubber. That's a 15X12 wheel and somewhere round a 295/5015-325/5015" tire.

Yes. Made my own 3" band in the middle. It's crude looking compared to the wheel wells you can just buy today that are already 3" wider, but works. The car as you can see from pics, was hacked up pretty bad so it made easier to mini tub at this time. All that's left is to move springs inboard....BTW; hello from Appomattox Va.
 
I didn't like the way this kit from UScartool did the rear shackle mount. Set up the way directions go, it raises your car about 2" in rear. I notched rear frame rails and simply remade it to fit in factory location. Is it correct? Is it nice as buying the weld-in parts? Nope, but does it work? Yes.

As you can see, this is alotta work. However, you can also see there's AT LEAST 14" of tire clearance. 15.5" wall to wall. If you trimmed the inner wheel wells lip back, you might even see 15" with 1/2" clearance each side. Definitely worth the work.

I believe height wise you'll be fine, but front of the wheel may need attention, on mine it did, that's why I'm using 315-60-15 drag radials
 
315-60-15..
Also the 295 is taller, my concern was the inside of the quarter where it curves in

When I put inner wheel wells in, I hammered that area back.out almost flush with quarter panel so I should be good there. Also, a 60 series is taller than a 50. Mine is 295/50/15" much shorter than that 315/60/15"

OK, now that I thinking( scary) the guy at Jegs may have brought out a 295/65, and set it beside the 315, sales guy has a 67 also,
When do you plan on setting it on the ground

As soon as this is completely welded up. 3.73, Locker unit, 35 spline, 2" narrower each side for total of 4" narrow. With a 512 C.I. stroker and 4 speed, I'll need all the traction.
