Mickey thompson has some drag radials in this size and was wondering if anybody was using those size. They are 27/10.08/15 and I'm wondering if they are to tall.
I've got that size in a differrent tire on my 68. I had rubbing issues until I rolled the fender lips. Now it only rubs if I go over one heck of a bump. Also, the backspacing will help you determine fitment. Mine is 3.75 inches. 4.5 would be perfect. Another thing to consider is that your speedometer will be off.
I just recently got 5 leaf mid-eyes that are supposed to drop the rear 1 in. My thoughts are it will stay the same height and slightly stiffen it because the old springs are probably sagging.
the axle widths are different, but the space in the wheel well should be the same
backspacing is the most important factor - it is a pretty tall tire compared to stock, but if it is tucked in under the fender lip, you should be alright.
