Will a 10.5 29 slick fit my 70 wheel well on a 10" rim 5.5 BS

 

[Bob West]

It should fit fine. I trimmed the lip on my car and folded the chrome trim under to make sure. I can run my fingers between the lip and the tire and they dont touch. I also use radial slicks 30x10.5x15 that dont grow but I dont have any issues front to back, just the lip will be close.

Thanks Bob for the quick response. I'm looking to get new tires for Sat if possible. Hope your project is almost done can't wait to hear your back at the track.:thumbsup:

Mike,
I would definitely try it before you buy them.
I am using 26x11x15 ET streets on a 10" rim and it has just enough clearance. Any larger in diameter and it wouldn't fit. Granted, my tire is 1/2" wider but I think a 29x10.5 will be very close.
Mike.

Thanks Mike I have 11.5-28 ET streets now and had to roll the lips. I need to kill some of my torque multiplication 11.61 with a manual trans.

On a 8" wheel you can fit a 12.5" section width which is sidewall to sidewall width, that is with a 4.5" BS, with trimming im sure you could fit more

On a 10" wheel im not sure

29.5 X 10.5 x 15 M.T. drag slicks on a 5.5 backspace 10 inch wide wheel fit under my 70 but I was definitly concerned about the tires growing and hittin with front of the wheelwell.

Well no one in Hawaii carries the tire in stock so tomorrow will be a scramble to figure something out. Thanks for the replies. Aloha Mike

What's a VFN bumper?

 

[Slowpoke70]

What's a VFN bumper?

Fiberglass bumper, VFN makes fiberglass parts.

 

[Bob West]

You mean I got one over on Rowdy???

On a real car, a magnet will stick to everything but the tires and windows.....






And sometimes rims

It used to be a real car before the wreck, now it leaning towards racecar, yet still street legal

Well I'll be using a used set of 11x29 Hoosiers. They got sticky on the test burn out we'll find out tomorrow.

I think a radial in 10.5X 29.5 will give you more room than a bias ply tire. The old Phoenix tires I ran needed the outer lip trimmed, and were close to rubbing on the inner wheelwell. They rubbed if I made too sharp of a turn.

I currently have 29X13.5 Hoosier QTP's on my car w/ 10" wheel w/ 5.5 bs and it is a very tight fit even w/ the lip cut almost completely off. The section on my tires is 13.6, that's where my prob lies.

May chasis has not sit perfectly square on the rear end friom day 1 so filling the wells was creative on my car (295/65's)10inch tread. Good luck with 11x29's.
Guess all I'm saying is if your car isn't perfectly square it makes it more difficult to put a maximum size tire on both rims with the same backspacing.
