Hello,
I’m doing a lengthy front to back refresh on my ‘69 R code sportsroof. I have decided to go to 15” Magnum 500’s and need to determine if a 15”x 10”with 5.5”backspace mounting P275/60/R15 tires will fit into the rear opening without modification. Currently the car has 17” x 9” with 4.5” backspace mounting P275/40/R17 tires on the rear. Can any of you ‘69 - ‘70 enthusiasts tell me the widest rear 15” wheel/tire you have stuffed under your sportsroof without cutting or reshaping the metal?
