i've got a 15x10 rim with 5 inch backspacing and i want a 27 tall tire and the widest i can get under the stock 1972 chevelle suspension and wheel wells! anyone have any ideas... and anyone have any pics? thanks!

The 15X10 rim is going to be tight, you might have to do some minor trimming around your wheel well outer lip. Most guys running the 15X10 combo's are running a 5 1/2 backspacing. That extra 1/2" will be close. A 295/50-15 is the widest 27" tall tire you can get.

does anyone know if a 28.0/12.50-15 M/T will fit on a 15x10 5.5 backspacing under a stock 72 chevelle suspension?

i ran 12.5 wide slicks on a 8inch rim on my chevelle, but it was raised up in the back
(pic in my profile), dont know bout 10 inch rim

i got 28/13.5/15s et streets on my chevelle... fit nicelyyyy with a 10 inch rim... s/s

any suspension mods?

do you have any pics?
thanks!!!

Just be aware of the differences in sizes. A "true" drag slick is measured by tread width. Street slicks like the E.T. Street are measured at sidewall width.

when it comes to tires, my experiences all say the Mickey Thompson ET street is the ebst for traction, and Grand Am Super Wides are terrible for traction, my small block can roast my pair of super wides

I can also vouch that the MT ET Streets do bite the asphalt!
