Default want to run 29.5x10.5 IPO 29X10.5W will it fit???

Like it says currently ruining
29x10.5 w Hoosier (29.3) 92 inch roll out, beat and cut the hell out of everything but fit
want to run a 29.5x10.5 Hoosier non W but has a (30.6) 96 inch roll out don't know how much more beating i will have to do in the front of the fender well to off set the taller tire?? my current set up is not mini tubbed still has the factory fender well.
If anyone has gotten these to fit let me know i dont know the difference between M/T and Hoosier specs but there is a diff i believe.

Is there no one out there running a 29.5 tire on a F body, i find that hard to believe. I just need a little info before i buy a set of tires in a week or two.

its not a "bolt on" fit. you're gonna have to trim the plastic bumper, probably do more than that too.

I run 30x10.5's on my TA, actual diameter is 29.5 BUT I run the CO6, it's a radial slick and they don't grow at all.
You're looling to run a tire that's an inch taller than mine and if it's a true slick it will GROW, at least 1 inch or more depending on your trap speed. That's allota tire. IMO, you're gonna have to narrow the rear to get them to tuck in, get offset control arms, possible mini tub, you can beat on the car to get a tire to fit but beating can turn into butchery real quick when trying to fit a tire that's a little too big.

If it's for the car in your sig you could just run a Hoosier 30x9 and have plenty of tire.... very little mods.

Any questions just ask

It is for the car in the sig, I have already got the 29's to fit by trimming the rear wheel opening and did beating as needed to the font of the wheel well. As the year went on and had the wheels off i fine tuned it off the shinny spots that kept showing up, at the end of the year everything cleared fine. The main reason I'm trying to get a taller tire is all i do is bracket race and i am looking for consistent 60's, thats what lot me a lot of rounds last year. Racing in the south no matter what the do the track is going to get really slick on 100 degree day with no cloud cover. I am also doing some other things to help with the traction issues suspension related.

I'm running a 29X10 Hoosier tire that's 29.3 inches tall and the tires tuck into the wheel well an inch or two when the car launches. The car is NOT mini tubbed and I didn't trim the lip in the wheel well. You could get a bigger tire in there if you trim the rear bumper and adjust the control arms back. I wouldn't go wider than 10 inches wide. Some super stock guys run 30X9 so the tire tucks better.
