Okay so I have a set of 255/60/15 rear tires that rub when i hit a big bump or have people in the back. The wheels are crager nomad 2 i think and i dont know the offset for sure since i got them on Craigslist.

After doing some reading the options i have are

1) Correct offset wheels
2) 5leaf leaf springs
3) Smaller tires
4) Air shocks
5) Shackles
any others i missed?

I would only be interested in options 1 and 2 since i like the look of my current tire size and dont want to use air shocks or shackles.

So according to dodgestang.com wheel chart I should be able to run 255 on the rear as long as I use 15x7 with 3.5 offset wheels right?

you have two options

1. get smaller tires and wheels

2. weld your rear axle to the car so the suspension does not move.

Scratch air shocks off the list for sure.
If you have old springs, replace them with at least 4-1/2 leafs, which should cross off the shackle lift option.
You missed the 'roll the fenders' option.

Need more info on the wheels.....

Cragar#260-3155755
Nomad II Wheel
Size: 15'' x 7''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 5-1/2''
Rear Spacing: 3-3/4'

Nomads in 15x7 usually come in 3.75
BUT
Nomads in 15x8 ALSO usually come in 3.75 which would stick out past your fender line and there isn't going to be much you can do at that point. Do you have a photo of them mounted or can your confirm the wheel specs?
