fitting a 325/50/15 on 67 camaro.. help please
I want to fit a 325/50/15 ( 28" ) in my fenders without rubbing on the lip or frame. i am going for the pro street look and want to slightly tuck the tires up in the fenders without rubbing. I just ordered my moser 9" and had it shortened 2" on each side. 35 spline, wave trac & 4 piston brakes and it finally shown up on friday.
I am also going with a mini tub kit that will let me fit a tire to my frame rail and I am also running a 4 link setup so there is no leaf spring to worry about. i am really bad with figuring out wheel sizes and all that so I want to make sure I order the right parts. I am going with factory replaca rally rims and I notice on summit they sell vintage replace rallys that are 15x10 with 5" and also with 5.5" backspacing. Would either of these work, or would I have to order a custom back space? I would just like your opinions of what I need to do to complete this task.
I am almost done with my entire twin turbo 540 build and this is the last thing that I need to do before I tune it. It has been a 2 year project in the making and it's finally all behind me except this last wheel / tire issue. Thank you for all your help and I hope to check this site out quite often !
Please let me know what you all recommend and I will order up what I need so I can finally finish my car! Thanks again, from Utah!

Shortened 2" on each side from the factory camaro width? If so(this is just my figuring, dont take it to the bank), a 15x8 uses a 4 1/2 bs(stock width rear end), if you go 15x10 you would need 2" more bs(stock width) which would be 6 1/2" bs, but you're 2" narrower so you'd bring it back to 4 1/2" bs..................I think
