Want to mount Cooper Cobra tire 295 50 R15 with a section with of 12.2. this will leave me one half inch clearance to the super stock springs. Would this be enough clearance even if I want to autocross? Everything is mounted in poly.
The car also has front and rear sway bars mounted in poly.Want to mount Cooper Cobra tire 295 50 R15 with a section with of 12.2. this will leave me one half inch clearance to the super stock springs. Would this be enough clearance even if I want to autocross? Everything is mounted in poly.
Lots of room to the inner fenderwell probably only about 3/8 of an inch to the outer fender lip. What do you think?I always get tire rubbing on the inner fenderwell way before tire to spring. Unless you have mini tubbed yours?
I think 3/8" to the outer quarter lip is pushing it. I just replaced the 8 3/4 rear with a Strange 60 in my 69 RR. I only have 9/16" from the tire bulge to quarter lip now. That is making me nervous and wanting wheels with a touch more backspace. Honestly, 1/2" to the springs is plenty of room imo.Lots of room to the inner fenderwell probably only about 3/8 of an inch to the outer fender lip. What do you think?
Chargers and Coronets have a higher wheelwell opening than Road Runners do though. I think that area is the tight spot on my and the op's car.I have 295/15/50's on 3 different sets of wheels on the rear of 3 of my B Bodies with stock factory springs with no rubbing issues on either car.
I also have them on a 70' Road Runner.Chargers and Coronets have a higher wheelwell opening than Road Runners do though. I think that area is the tight spot on my and the op's car.
What are your thoughts on minimum safe clearance between tire bulge and wheel lip on a 68-70 Plymouth?I also have them on a 70' Road Runner.
I believe I will go with 275 to give myself some breathing room. Better to be safe.I think 3/8" to the outer quarter lip is pushing it. I just replaced the 8 3/4 rear with a Strange 60 in my 69 RR.

I am curious what others have to say about how much space to the outer quarter is safe. I was going to post that question in a thread myself.
