Just Google Wheel back space and it will get you a idea on how to check the back space that would be the best use of the space that you have to work with.

Anyone like to give me some examples of what they are running?

John i have a 66 cuda with 14x6 front rallys 14x7 rear rallys my plan is 215/60/14 front and 235/60/14 rear my back spacing is 4 inch i beleve all around. according to my measureing, with the 235s i'll have approx 3/4 to an inch of clearance between the spring on the inside and between sidewall and inner fender on the outside [my car is lowered 3 inches in the rear and 2 inches up front] 245 tires in the rear is too tight in my case. Sitting at stock height i would use 245s on mine for sure!!!
