    Well all the studying / measuring and racking my brain FINALLY paid off for me today as it worked out just as I hoped...

    The Tire - Mickey Thompson 29" tall and the tire comes in at a enormous 13 5/8 Section width and 11+ tread width..,

    its 3/8ths from the spring now and the general rule of thumb is about 1/2 on either side...

    A real thin wheel spacer would move it off the spring some and still have plenty of clearance to the outer wheelwell lip which is about 1+ now...

    I asked this in another thread but how wide are those rear wheels and what is the backspace on them?

    StRoKer,
    I'm not sure on his car,  but on my Cuda Stocker I had to trim the wheel opening a bit. He probably did the same.
    I ask him tomorrow when I see him. I know he uses Hooiser & Goodyear radials 92's & 94's and they don't really grow much at all. I do know the M/T's & Firestones do grow alot..

    Looks good man. How is your drivability going to be on the street with a spool?  I thought that was primarily for track use?

    Spools are fine on the street as long as you dont go barreling around turns.. the guy with the blue hemicuda above has been using a spool for years with no issues.... his car is 3800lbs and runs mid 9's on motor ....  :working:
