Need some help with tire sizing.

[Evl69]

Pretty sure I posted my first in the wrong spot so let’s try here.
69 Roadrunner. Built 440.
15x11 rear
14x8 front
What sizes do you guys run?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Pictures are helpful to give me an idea on looks.

No way you will get 11" wide to fit on the rear unless you have done a spring relocation and mini tub?

Take a look at my clearance and see what you think if you don’t mind. Seems like they would fit? Tight to the fender but with the tire taper I’ve got about 3/4” from the fender. The car had drag slicks on it.

I dropped the springs down to the last hole and sitting on jack stands under the axle I’ve got 5” to the fender and plenty of clearance to the springs.

Welcome here!

You have way to much clearance on the spring and no clearance at the quarter panel by looking at your wheel only pictures. At the quarter your wheel is even with it. How is a tire going to fit on there and drive down the road? It will not.

Please measure from the spring to the wheel edge for us. It looks way to far away.

what size is the racing wheel/tire on the car in your other photo above?

Your wheel tubs and springs are stock locations right now.

The 14x8 in the front might be too wide, it depends on the offset to the outside, your tire could hit the fender wheel opening at the front or the frame rail at the rear when turning, that’s the tight spots. These old slot mags are commonly offset out to look deeper, which looks cool but they don’t fit as well.
