28x10.5Wx15 with proper size tubes. $300 + shipping for the set. in the post in the for sale section, i stated that they have been mounted on the rims and had 8 screws/side, but never on a car before. i had them dismounted in place of something i can drive on the street. let me know if you have any interest.

thanks,
Dave

looks awesome !! what size are those, just wondering because im thinking of trying to get 28.0x10.5W to fit on my '69 camaro but im gonna try to do the mini-tub thing myself so i can get them tucked under the fender. Also, do you think the W's would tuck under the car good or is there anything you would recommend? any info is appreciated.

it's a 29.5 10.5W, and 69 do the innertub thing where you just cut the inner wheelwell at the seam and move it in 2" then put a piece of sheetmetal back in once you paint it it will look stock and be hard to tell it's been widened. then run a 15x10 with 6 1/2" of backspace and you shouldn't have any problems. if you're a leafspring car you may have to move them inboard but check first the tire you're talking about may clear a stock position leaf spring. also what rear are you running width of it will affect back spacing and you may only need 6" but it should be 6 1/2"

Looks good, but have you run them yet. It looks like they are going to rub on the front and back of the fender from the pics. Granted they clear now, but once they grow it looks like they will be real close.

awesome, hit it right on the spot! as for the rearend, i don't have one yet but i plan on going with a ford 9" narrowed just a bit so i guess i could cut it to fit the backspacing of choice but im still trying to finish the body work. Also, i plan on going ladder bars with coil overs. once again, thanks

Pray HRD - thanks for the offer but tires won't come till later.
