'69 Coronet Drag Radial Recommendation

[193rdsow]

I'm thinking about switching from my current setup to MT Drag Radials. I'm trying to figure out the best comparable size combination and get the most meat on the ground and still clear the wheel well and leaf springs.

Who else is running MT Drag Radials on a 69 B-Body (Coronet with Dana 60 and 4 speed) and what is largest size tire and wheel you can safely fit under stock dimensioned B body? Please include your backspacing if you know it. Reading other threads it looks like 295/55/R15 on 15x10s 5 1/2" BS is best combo. Anyone else using this? Any problems putting on and taking off?

Thanks!

That tire/wheel combo fits perfect on my '69 Super Bee. 325 tire is WAY TOO big.

Whoooaaaa!!! Really!?!? I couldn't even stuff just the 325 tire in the wheel well. Crunched between leaf spring and non rolled fender.
