The Building of the Blue Mistic

Just curious here, do you know if a 275 cross section tire fit in stock wells or would some massaging or fab be involved?

Oh-and even if you're not the one doing the fab specifically, I like the direction this project is headed. And after bouncing some emails back and forth with Denny, I believe I'll be using that same setup...just gotta save up some pennies and dimes.

If you go with Denny, you will not be disappointed. I went that route on a budget (as funny as that sounds). I went with the mustang II 2" drop spindles and went a little cheaper on the brakes. I used a kit with 11" drilled/slotted rotors. They are Ford Granada front rotors and GM metric calipers. I will post a pic of them for you.

As for the tires, I had a set of 275/35/20 tires here that I bought for mock up on my minitubbed 72 Dart. I did try to see if it would work. What I found with my 70 Dart with stock wheel tubs/spring location, is that it will not fit without having the springs moved in somewhat and the the fender lip modified some. I have read others that have trimmed the inner fender lip some and offset the springs to get them to fit. I think abodyjoe did this to fit his.
