70 Dart leafs moved in with 3" kit. No tubs but inside well hammered with 3lb mini sledge. Outside lip shaved. Wheel 8x15 with 5" backspace. 29.5x9x15 E.T. drag slick. Hooks so well it bogs the motor. Need more motor.

This thread needs pics. Some people say a tire fits as long as the body doesn't hit it.

Limit your suspension movement and get the body up and any width will fit as long as you don't mind the tires sticking out the side.

I think the year and body style definitely needs to be part of this. A 63 Dart is far different than a 73 Dart Sport.
 
All these sizes are making me crazy. I have a swinger and moved my springs in under the frame. Currently I have a set of 15 x 8 with 4.5 back spacing with a meager225/70 but they are close to the wheel well lip. i roled them to be safe because it was super tight. I would like to run a 275 on there but I would have to really add to the back spacing to get them in there. How are you guys running a 275? Maybe I have a wider brake hub that I am not aware of because the 4.5 BS on that 225 70 I have is already slamming me to the wheel lip. Plenty of room to go back but it would leave me with no front space. suggestions?
