COMET CENTRAL

I'm running 205/60-15 on 15X7 Mag500 wheels all the way around.
Dimensions for my rear tires are 24.7" X 8.2". Your tires are 25.1" X 9.5".
The previous owner rolled the rear fenders a little but I need to roll them back a little more before I pull the air shocks.
I would roll the rear fenders now before you paint to get more clearance.
9.5" is going to be a bit tough with the stock axle housing, since the fenders are skirted. JMO
I'll post some pics I took today so you can check out the stance.

What JT said the issue is no how wide a tire can fit but how wide a tire will go on, mine are not all that wide on my '64 and if they were any wider I would have to unbolt stuff to get them on (may still have to I haven't tested it since I got the car back down on the ground but once and it still wasn't fun)

See Ya,

Just measured outside of leaf spring to outer tread on my tire= 9 1/4".
My rear fender well is rolled 45 degrees and it's a hair from rubbing the sidewall.
