After running 30x12.5x15 ET Streets on 8.5x15 w/5.5 backspace Weld Draglites, and having to use spacers which sheared my studs off I need to get proper rims on there.

Anyone running these tires on a ladder bar with coilovers non tubbed setup in a '69 ??? What rim size and backspacing are you using??

Thanks in advance,
Greg, aka:smokumchevy

my non tubbed 68 has had 30x12.5x15's on 10 in with 4.5 backspace.real tight even with the lip rolled.just bought 15x10's with 5.5 b.s.and will measure to attempt to go to 30x13.5's.[right now i still have over an in. left between tire bulge and inner wheelwell]

68 chevelle
427 with 6-71
runs 10's
working on 9's

Blown 68,

I will be interested to know if the 13.50 x 30's fit. I am considering a set for mine when the BFG Drag Radials wear out. Do you have the rear of the car jacked up at all? I'm thinking it will be real close and probably rub at stock ride height.

------------------
It's a BIGGER block!

Thanks blown68,

Pls, if at all possible let me know how it fits up.....

Could you tell me what brand & model tire your using in the 30x12.5x15's ?? I need to look up their dimentional data to compare with the ET Streets..

As SS540 asked, what suspension are you running, and if I may, what rear end set-up.

We don't have anyone local knowledgable here in my area and am tired of shoot and miss situations.

Also, if your using stock rear end... do you have a 1/2" offset to the drivers side on yours??? I thought mine was screwed up or something but went to a scrapper today and all that erra in our body styles seem to be that way !?!?!

Thanks again,
Greg, aka:smokumchevy
