I'm hoping someone already tried this and can share some first hand info. I have a 72 Duster. I presently have 275/R60-15 Goodrich T/A on 8" Rallye wheels. Leafs were relocated and I'm not concerned with clearance for the leafs. The present wheel tire combo fits fine. See pic.
I am thinking of now going with 295/R50-15 on 15x10 wheels. Not sure I like a smaller diameter tire than what I've got and not into a lot of wheel well showing or the rim/tire being past the wheel well lip. While the 295 is wider than the 275 it is also about 1.5 inches smaller in diameter.
First off, will a 295 on a 10 wide wheel even fit without any tub mods? The 10" Rallye wheel has 5" backspace. Will the rim or tire stick out past the wheelwell? Thanks
