that might just work...  I run a B-rear with 1"relocation and 9" with 275-60`s.  there is appr. 1.3" space between tire and spring left.  Only thing is, I`m not sure if I have 4" or 4.5" backspace...  :clueless:
gonna be tight...  :grinyes:

That's some meat Brandon!  It will look like a steam roller from the rear - Yeah!

Depends on which year B body rear you have. Not all years are the same width. 66-67 fits best with 5", 68-70 fits best with 5.5".

I've got approximately a 305mm under mine (its actually a 12" width and close to a 45 aspect ratio), 15x10, 5" backspace with a '67 B body rear and the 3/4" relocation. I've got a bit of room on each side that way. A 325 is about an inch wider, so figure .5 per side, it should clear with the 1" kit, but you might need to roll the fender lip.

XV did claim to put 335/35 under their Challenger with no well mods.

i forgot to add that the quarters are all ready rolled. i think it will look awesome basically whatever i have to do to get these things under there i will do. i am think the dr diff kit using the upper holes to hopefully lower the rear an inch if everything will clear. i have got to find a b body rear being the biggest hang up at the moment parts are getting hard to come by around here.. it is gonna take me a while to get all this together but when i do i will have pics for ya thanks everyone
