Nobody has any pics??...

I will soon ;-)
My engine builder had a set on his Hemi Charger and another set under the snow which I could borrow

They didn´t look insanely wide, but still, would love to see a pic on a Chevelle for more "real life comparison" !

Well steve, I think that´s already to late for mine

At least your car were done right, the previous owner of mine just cut it straight..

I think your car looks great !
It does bring up a bunch questions though, as mine is a mix of 64/65 , assuming those are N50-15 tires, what brand are they as I see they vary some in thread size and overall width ?
And were you able to fit them without moving the frame in ? If so, how much clearance do you have on the inside ?
What wheel are you running, 15x10" ? And if you know, what backspacing ?

I`ll be moving the frame in on mine, just enough to fit a 325/50-15 tire on a 10" wheel, but for (believe it or not) inspection I need to fit a N50-15 tire first.

Thanks for posting up the picture ! Looks mean and old school, I love it :beers:

Do you remember how much clearance you had left on the inside, tire to frame ? It looks like the tire is out one inch or so. from the top of wheel well, a little more down low ?

Remi...The tires are Pro-Trac probably Corker remakes. The frame is not cut. The back space is 3 1/2". Wheels are 15 X 10 Outlaw II.

I bought the car already "radiused". I've been working with the Old School Gasser look. That gets all the old parts out of the garage and functioning. I'm going to put 4 1/2" BS Wheel Vintiques Series 03's on the back. With the wheel like that, it looks to need a spacer to clear an existing 2 1/2" tailpipe, but just towards the end of the tires.

Your 64 is good looking, also.....

Sorry for the crappy pics...
1970 project with 15x10 Centerlines, 4.5" back space. Rearend is lifted with a set of el Camino springs. :thumbsup:

Great pics 68Chevelle396 !! First set of pictures who actually gave me a good impression on how wide those tires actually are !

Did you have any clearance left on the inside ?
I`ll be trying a 10" wheel and that tire on my 65, quarters are cut open so I have a little more room then stock. (I didn´t do it, but hey, once it´s done I might as well fill it out right ??

Think I can make a 5" backspacing fit. Also going for a minitub and move the frame in, to fit the N50-15 tire and to get a 325/50-15 tire in there too, which is what I´ll be running. Think with frame in 2" I´ll have enough clearance.

If you cut your rear openings you can do this. This is a 1980 Grand Prix Fender lip. The photos here are a 295-50-15 (the Avons are really about a 305) on a 10 inch rim but can do a 325 also. The old N-50 are about 325s by todays standards. This was done way back in 1983 but you think it was OEM - well it is 1980 Grand Prix OEM.
