On mine, 275-60/15's w/ 15x8 welds w 4" offset. Still had some room to get a finger on the outer and close to 2" at the springs. Same wheels on the front but 235-60-15 on the tires.

I ran a 285R70/15 on my Dodge way back in the day. The tubs were stock but had the leafs moved in closer to the frame rails and an offset shackle from MP. 15 X 8's.

These are 30 x 9's on my 63 in my stock wheelwells. I could fit a 31 x 10 in there with no trouble. A little wider may even fit but it would most likely rub on turns though. Ron

I measured the fender to spring opening on my 64 sport fury and came up with 13.1". If you use a wheel with 4.5 rear spacing that should put the wheel close to center as possible . When choosing a tire, tire width is most important thing to watch. I am looking at getting an American racing wheel (Torq Thrust D) 15X 8X 4.5" back spacing and using M/H tire mss-001. Also measure both fender wells for clearance. Mopar manual states that there can be up to 3/4" difference between sides. A275X15 X60 will work with no problems assuming your wheel has 4.5 back spacing. Hope this helps !
 
yes it does help, thank you! also 383man do you know exact width of your hoosier's?
 
Keep in mind that the stock 1964 taper flanged rear axle is about an inch wider than the 1965 flat flange axles that are a popular swap into the earlier cars. That will make a difference if things are tight.
 
A guy at my shop wanted to put 295/15 on x8 rims on a non-tubbed, non-cut 64.

I told him good luck.

He said the tires worked but he had to buy 15x7 rims.

That still seems iffy to me.
