I thought that article was a let down. Yeah I needed a magazine to tell me I could fit 245s under my Chevelle. They never get into the tought stuff. HOw about fitting a set of 275s under a 64-65. I had to figure that one out on my own.

I managed to put some 305/50/15 M & H Racemasters under the back of my 67. They are bubbled out way over the 7 in. rally wheels but they lay an even patch. They just barely touch inside and have about half an inch on the outside.
