Need help with wheels/tires for '65 FS project

Bob Jasinski said

That's the tire I'm leaning towards (205/65R15) Do you rub at all? About how close are they to the rear leaves?

Like I said, there's no interference. I initially had the t-bars set a little low, and I had very slight rubbing if I had the wheels turned to full lock and hit a bump a little too fast; like pulling into a parking lot too quickly. Returning it closer to stock ride height eliminated that.
There's lots of clearance to the rear leaves (and to the fender lip), can't give you a precise measurement since it's put away for the winter, but suffice to say it isn't close.
Keep in mind though, that this is on a '75 which has a little more distance between the spring and wheel mounting surface due to the larger axle flange offset and wider drums that were used in '75 with the big bolt pattern, as compared to your small bolt pattern early 'Cuda- probably amounts to less than 3/4" per side or thereabouts.
