Largest rear tires possible on a 64'

The last year, I have been dealing with Dutchman http://www.dutchmanms.com/ out of Portland and have found that they are willing to deal more tham Currie, Moser and a few others. Tese guys are hotrodders / street rodders...not some company who see us only as a $$$ figure.

As for your center section, deal with Randy's in Washington. They will meet or beat just about any price you find with excellent selection of accessories.
No, I don't own either of these companies but I owe them a lot of thanks.

The rear end should be 1" to 2" narrower each side for a better wheel selection and fit.

The stock width housing makes the clearance between the drum and wheel lip too tight to even get a big tire in there.

With the inner fender moved in to the frame edge (about 1 1/2&quot[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]i can run a 15 x 10 with a 9x30 slick (13" overall width) confortably, the 10.5 x 29.5's rubbed.

The big deal is diameter, the front edge is just too close to run more than a 26" tall tire, this can be cut easily to allow 28" tires.
