Hey guys,
I'm curious if I will have any issues if I try to use a 25.5 tall by 9.4 wide tire on a rim with 5"b.s. , if the Chevelle has a 3 inch drop. I plan On rolling the fenders anyway, but do you guys think they will rub during turns?
Answers will be apreciated!!:)

If it's a 10" wide rim,you will have problems as 5.5" or more backspacing is required. If it's 8" wide,you're good to go although 5" of backspace is a little too much for that width on a 66-72 w/stock rear.
You shouldn't need to roll the lips if you do your homework.

The front rim is a 8.5 in width I wanted to roll the fenders to be able to push the rear wheel as far as possible. The rear is a 9.5 with 5.5 BS. So these tires will work?

I think you're going to be ok. What diameter are your wheels? What are the tire sizes you plan to run?

That front wheel & tire combo should fit your 67 like a glove. The rears are going to be snug but should be ok with that drop.
