Hey all! graemlins/waving.gif I have a 68 hardtop w/ a 502 & 4 speed. I have lowered it 3" w/ OPG springs. I am currently running 8" vette rallys w/ 255/60/15 on rear & 235/60/15 on front. I have those on there just cuz it was what I had. It was rubbing on the sidewall in rear w/ all kinds of room to inside between tire & frame rail. I have currently replaced body mounts & squared it up on frame. I am looking to run a bigger tire cuz of traction probs. But I like the look of the rallys & want to stay that way. I am wondering on what is the biggest tire I can run w/ the correct backspacing? I plan in running BFG's & also have to come up w/ tire size for front. Any ideas or pix? I'm looking for all ideas. Thanx, John graemlins/thumbsup.gif

What is the back space on your wheels.......Also...Lets see a picture of that beast.......Pic in my sig ....I also lowered mine 3 inches but the pic is at stock height.....The tires you see on my car in my pic are 325/50/15's on a 15x10 with 5.5 back space.........I now have 29x15.50 M/T Sportsman on ...But that required a full mini tubb......I will try to post a pic with the 29's .....

325s will fit on a 68 on a 10 inch wheel if you run with 5.5 inch BS and roll the wheel well lips. I am currently running 305/50 Euro T/A's( not made anymore :( )on the 15x10 draglite and have an ever so slight rub. My wheelwell lips are not rolled.
