Deep dish and 315's worked !

[70fastbak 16]

Im really happy I went with the deep dish choice and 315's !

Got my tires mounted and balanced today and brought them home expecting them to not fit without cutting n modifying.

I was wrong!

Just the smallest amout (barely any) of massaging on the front inner wheel tubs and....bingo!

I like the width and I like where those sit in relation to the fender lip

Looks great

Very nice fit, looks great! It's nice that your got the 1" spacer to play with. Since you have leaf springs are you concerned about lateral movement of the rear axle causing the rub?

If it becomes an issue I will address it.

I'm just going to run it as is and see.

Looks good! Who's wheels, size and offset?

[beecj0 11]

SPECS PLEASE!! Looks good!

[70fastbak 16]

They are AFS deep dish mach1 wheels.

17x10.5 with 6.9 backspacing and 27mm offset.

[Grabber70Mach 107]

Looks good, I figured they would fit.

[beecj0 11]

Would you say that is the max width?

Yeah any wider of a tire and id say you would be into mini tubs.

[beecj0 11]

Thanks! And keep us posted if you have issues later please.

Coil overs or leaf springs?

Coil overs or leaf springs?

 

Just regular leaf springs, 2" drop.

I will probably lower it more also with a 1" lowering block.

Do you have any pics of the wheel well without the tire on? Did you have to remove the bump stop? At least the outer tab of it?

[70fastbak 16]

I did shave down the bump stop.

Let me know what pics you want, not sure what you want to see exactly.

[MustangBobby 28]

I'm not sure what I want to see, either. Just curious how much quarter lip massaging you had to do along with the bump stop bracket. Is it a stock rear end? 315 is my ideal tire width. I have always heard the widest you could go without a mini tub was 295, so this has me very excited. How much room is left between the tire and quarter, and the inner wheel house? Thanks.
