I put 325/50-15s into the stock tubs of a 68 Barracuda with just the offset spring kit. Those are pretty tight, but they are in the tubs and the body is down over them. Just. There was some massaging.
Before that I ran 295s on 10s. I narrowed the rear to fit a 4.5bs, Cuz I like the looks of the deep dish wheels.
I ran 275s on an old 8.5 inch rim. I'm not positive but I think it was a 3.75bs. That fit on a stock 69, 8.75rear end. Those have plenty of room; miles and miles.
As always measure,measure,measure.
The largest diameter changes with the tire width or where it sits. 295s just fit in there at 27 and change,tall,when properly centered. 275/60-15s are 28 and fit ok if in the tubs. But if they are too far outboard they get dangerously close to the wheel opening at the lower front. There is just enough stud sticking out that you can move the front spring perches back 1/4 to 3/8 inch, and that is enough room.
I once wanted to install 305/60-15s, but at almost 32 inches , that was a no-go,lol. Even 305/50s were too tall, at 29.4.
I think just about any period 8 incher will fit in there. They were usually a ZERO-offset to 1 inch negative at most. A zero offset 8 incher would be a 4.5 backspace. Most period wheels are deep-dish, so the offset puts the bs at maybe 3.5 minimum.
If your wheels have more than 4.5 bs and the tire sidewall gets into the spring, just move the spring or install long studs and spacers. Relatively cheep and/or easy.
