How wide in the rear
Ok, I am considering buying a '73 SS from a guy here in Maryland. I currently own and '69 El Camino and of course I am clear on the rim/tire fitment for 68-72 A-Body. Now that I have the 73 in my sights, I am curious as to how wide of a rim/tire combo can I run in the rear without any interference. On my current car, I have 15x10 with 295/50/15 tire. This is a look that I love and would love to know if anyone here has run anything similar. In fact, on a '73, I would really like to run an old school set of Cragars. Thoughts, ideas and even pictures greatly appreciated.
And for good measure, I have attached a picture of my El Camino. If anyone has an interest in it, let me know.

Anything that will fit on a 68/72 A body will fit a 73, and probably then some. BTW, welcome to the forum. JB

yep you could probably fit a 305 or 315 easily in the rear on the 73.

yep go look at the tire topic in the general discussion. That tire is equivalent to a 295/60/15
