Im looking to see if anyone has ideas on a rear suspension setup for a 65 fastback that would allow the car to be mini tubed and fit a 275/50/15 tire. It is going to be an all arround type car no dedicated purpos.

that tire should fit if the rear isnt too low without the need for mini tubs.

the difference between that tire and mine is about .2 taller so maybe 1/4"???

I would like the car to sit low and have the tire tucked inside the wheel well. I have a
26x9.5x15 drag tire on it now and it tucks up nice but rubs the leaf spring.
So i want to get rid of the leaf springs and square up the wheel well as much as possible without interfering with the interior

mine might have tucked a little better with a 1/4" more BS, but i think with a the slightest body lean it would have rubbed the wheel well.
