Hi. Trying to get some guidance. I would like to buy magnum 500 15x10 for the rear of my 69 Mach 1, 5 inch bs. I will be shortening the rear end. I also know i may have to widen the front of the wheel well, roll the fenders, remove the protruding part of the bump stop. What have you done to fit a 295 inside the wheel well?
Thank you for your time

Minitubs I suspedt would be best. I haven't gotten around to that area ofd my '69 yet. However I got 295/50/15's under my '67. (Long time ago) Trimmed the snubbers. A narrowed rear and flares. Flares partly because though the quarters were otherwise fine, the wheel well lip was rusted. It has 18's on it these days but here's a shot from over 20 years ago.
