With a 15*8 5.5 backspace Pro Star and a 3/8" to 1/2" spacer, I can fit this tire in my 71:
27 *10.5 * 15 ET Street
Note however, that those measurements are larger than the actual tire. Its more of an 8" slick with bulgy sidewalls. It is
close.
I have rolled the fenderlips and have B-Body drum brakes on the back. I also have monoleafs. Also, now that the tires have some passes and the sidewalls have softened a bit, I am getting a bit of rub on the springs. Bascially the lettering has rubbed off of the inside of the tires.
I tried the 28.0 * 9 * 15 slick and it would not go.
Also, this tire seems about the biggest i can actually wiggle into the wheelwell with the long studs on the axles. I think if I went bigger I would need my axle to drop further so I could actually get it in there!

Before rolling the lips, and with 1/4" spacers on the same wheels, I could fit these tires with no issues - still had the monoleafs though.

I am *very* frustrated with the tire options for this body style. If I wouldn't have to re-buy my monoleafs and cal-tracs, I would have relocated the springs already.
