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.
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.
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.
Thanks Chris I've been looking and talking about so many tires I messed up, the tires I'm gonna use are 10x29-15 and it is tight on the pass side as in VERY. Well the car is loaded with all my stuff time to drive to the track. See ya.
