Indeed guys the search tool is our friend, but in the case of this question all it has done is complicated things for further.
The premise of the question is: all things being equal, having performed a leaf spring relocation on a B-Body what is the widest 15" wheel and tire combination that will fit within the unrolled factory fenders?
Numerous posts, on multiple forums, have conservative stated front-15x8 4.5BS with 245/60/15 and rear-15x10 5.5BS with 295/50/15.
I say conservative because I'm in the mock up stage of performing this modification and can easily see 265s up front and 325s fitting in the rear. Numbers and formulas seem sound, although, wiser men than me have commented on this topic with different yet similar numbers not as wide as the aforementioned.
Any Gearheads with this modification or knowledge thereof please chime in.
