What Size Tire/Rim fit Rear of Stock 71 Roadrunner

Post by Ronnman » Mon Jun 02, 2008 11:35 am

What size tire, rim and backspacing can be used to get the largest tire with about 1" clearance between tire and fender and 1" clearance between tire and leaf springs on the rear of a stock 71 Roadrunner? What are you guys/gals using?
Thanks,
Ron

What profile is the tire 60, 70 or other? Also, do you know what the backspacing on the rim is?
Thanks,
Ron
