Enough tire clearance?

[vesku383]

Hello. My homemade inner fender braces, what i´m just planning. 65 Dodge Coronet 500. What do you think, is there enough clearance for tires to turn? At now i have 14" Keystone Classics with 215-60 tires. Im not sure what backspace is. Before i weld them in, and paint everything..

I would think that they will rub those braces. You may have to re-make them about half the size. I would look at the USCT brand at their style of braces as a comparison.

Another problem is that back inside corner will hold water and debris and rust quickly.

Just cut the lower inner corner off-instant drain!

I think your tires will clear just fine. Box in the front and consider putting an upper corner brace in as well (you can see that in the above photo).
