10" rear wheel

[408-stroker-stang 10]

Does any one know if it is possible to get a 10" rear wheel under the rear fenders and not stick out like mine do in my pics? ps. I would like to do it without messing with the rear axel.

thanks

Streetking has 18x10 rear wheels with 6.375" backspace and 295/35-18 tires.

I have a 70 coupe and measured it with a 10 inch wheel we tried a 295/18 tire and it does not fit at all, I dont know if the fastbacks are different but the widest on we could get under was a 275 40 18 on a 10 in. wheel

The fastback and coupe use the same replacement wheelhouse.

with that being said on streetkings car I see no way a 295 would fit unless its been mini tubed or modified somehow , mine is not hitting on suspension sense I have a 4 link and airbags, but it hits on the inner structure of the car , you might be able to fit that tire if you did not tuck it in the finder but in that pic it is, so not sure how that worked for him,

ive got Billet Streelite's 10" wide with 5.5 backspacing on mine with Mickey Thompson ET Streets 275's. although i did put air shocks on since i didnt want to really slice my sidewalls. we've got a stock '67 mustang 8" rear end, nothing tampered or shortened

They are 17"x10.5", Thanks for pointing them that way though. :thumbup:

Crap, guess I was combining your width with the wheel diameter that I was wanting to go with :tongue_smilie:

 

 

As far as StreetKing's wheelhouses being modified, from his thread: "Ok guys, the deal on the rear wheels. You can run a 295/35/18 with just a small amount of inner fender clearance with a hammer in the right spots. My car is really low and the BFG KD tire runs a little big. If I was to go with a Nitto or Toyo Proxy, I wouldn't need a 1/8 space at all. Some tires just run a bit bigger in the same size than others and when your working with tight clearances, size does matter.

 

Stephen, yes I have a stock width housing."

While I was working on the car yesterday I took a couple of measurements that might be of help.

From outer face of drum (wheel mating surface) to outboard edge of leaf = 7"

Inner fender to wheel opening lip = 12.75"

Yep, but keep in mind the inner fenders curve as you get higher up, so the clearance becomes less and less the further you get up.
