245/60/14 on stock rally wheels

Go Mango - having run 245-60-14s on stock rallye wheels for a long time and having done what it takes to put those same tires on 7 inch wheels (yeah they really do have more traction) I hope you are ready to do what's needed to make that work. I couldn't fit 7 inch wheels without moving the springs in with one of the kits that move the front hanger against the frame. That means cutting off the perches on the housing and welding in new ones - moving them in. It's a lot of work. figuring out offset in the limited wheel well is also a challenge. Would I do it again? you bet - in fact I'm building a 70 Dart GT right now and already have done that deed again. And will I run my 318 Swinger with 245-60-14s on stock Rallyes another 40,000 miles - you bet!
I have 15x7" (4.25 backspace) on the rear of my Swinger with 255-60's. They're tight on the fender lip on one side but because of the lift and stiffness of my springs I don't get any rubbing.
