It depends on what your looking for. I like drag racing more than road racing, so if you want tires for just hooking up in a straight line, then I have seen 70 chevelles with 305's in the back. I think it requiers 41/2 inch backspace, and the fender lip be rolled, as well as "massaging" the innder fender with a mallet. If you just roll the lip, 295's can fin with ease. Use a 15X8 inch rim.
