StRoKer's How To: MAXIMUM Tire Fitment PICS!

[nivvy]

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 29.5" tall and the exact tire width comes in at a enormous 13 5/8 Section width and 11+ tread width..,
The Rear - Dana 60 cut to 54 5/8 flange to flange and the perch centers are 44"
(I will have to check my records for each actual axel length)
Suspension Mods - Dr. Diff 1" relo Kit and Caltracs Split monoleafs with the Caltrac Bars and 9 way Rancho RS9000 shocks and mounted on upper hole on the front spring hanger for a lower ride height...
Rims - 15*10 Centerline Convo Pros with 5" backspace
                          Wheelwell lips rolled some but a stock wheelwell...

Clearance - To the outside wheelwell is easily 3/4+ on the pass side and over a 1" on the drivers side
                 To the springs its 3/8 to the pass spring and and "about" 3/8 to the drivers spring.
Now the rule of thumb is 1/2 clearance on each side and with a minimal thickness wheel spacer clearance will be easilly achievable and outside wheelwell wont be an issue....

Its 26 5/8 ride height on the rear wheelwell lip...

I dont know how well the pics will do justice but im totally stoked......... yes the tire is 13 5/8 width measured several times around the tire.. 

I knew I could get it done just took alot of racking my brain 

ALL my internals for the dana 60 come from Cass Eslick (Dr. Diff). he is the tops in the business and his customer service is outstanding 

 
Before and After Dr. Diff  Special Thanks to Alan Lemon MOPARAL for getting me the Dana 60 housing

i was going to move this to the tire tech section which seemed more appropriate, but then i remembered:

Im outta here..... to many ballbabies crying about whatever...... post this and that! whatever.....   swearing under a certian way like sh!t... whatever...... context etc.........  dont show this or that and say this or that!....WHATEVER.........

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL ON THER MOPARS. for real 

If I cant be REAL and be myself...... well thats just not me..... no offense attended,,,,, JUST NOT ME  is all........

PEACE...............

I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE GREAT MOPARS............ ............ 

i figured in doing so would prevent you from being real, and despite my delightful surprise youve decided to stay after so emphatically saying you were leaving, ive decided to keep it where its at

That looks killer, Jason!!   Nice job getting them tucked in there!!

[BIGSHCLUNK]

Agreed! Looks killer!

[nivvy]

I'll get exact measurements of everything... been working 2 weeks straight and im tired.... like I said pics dont do justice as angles and all but im happy for sure as I would have been sick if it didnt work out if ya know what I mean

  Looks great! Was the Dana cut down to B body specs, or was it a custom measurement? 
 One question though, is your car a track only car now? or do you drive it around town with slicks on?

was a custom cut on the housing.... my car is a street car! I will run the 325/50/15's or the 315/60/15's et street radials for the street. they come in at 13.25ish width on a 10" rim ...... the shorter cut on the housing makes all the difference over the 55" b body specs... like I said a lot of thinking and some guts trusting it would work along ith the axel measurements as I wanted the tires to have the tucked under look and not a lifted rear to get big tires on there if you know what I mean... the front spring hanger is on the upper hole so the car sits lower also... Ill have to find my axel measurements....

I must have called moparal 3 times and changed the length on the dana 60 housing..... thx alan 

I would have been sick if it all didnt work out 

[nivvy]

The tire is actually 29.5" tall and is 11" tread width 

[Moparal]

I would of had you another rearend cut Jason, no problem

[EVIL72]

 Thanks for the info Stroker. This'll really help when I get around to doing my Challenger.

I was wanting to do something like this myself. I have been figuring out how I want to go about it, and you summed it all up for me in one post. Now when I get ready I know who to go to for advice . Car looks really great Jason, can't wait to see pictures with the other tires.

[cudadave72]

Looks awesome!!!

I am gonna go out and put in some spacers..... here a couple pics before spacers...

driverside wheelwell lip clearance and pass. side clearance to the spring in front of the tire....

Now remember i am on the upper hole of the front spring hanger so its easy to lift the car up by putting the sping on the upper hole and tuning ride height with a thin lowering block also
