Ive seen big rubber like that before but it is impractical for your use. That would just slow you down more than it would benefit traction. My 275's on my 98 are just under 10 inches, you dont need more than that...

Sean W, your willing to shorten your axle just to fit a lil wider tires in the back?, what are you going to gain from doing this?

well you could always get fender flares molded on to your car witch i think gives you a 1.5" to 2" extra

ORIGINAL: Sean W.

I want 14" - 16" WIDE tires on the back of my 68'. what do you think? I would probably have to shorten the axel to make it look right
Are you planning an 800 HP alky motor?

To put that much tire on the car under the sheetmetal you have full tub it and move the frame rails in as well as shorten the rear tubes and axles.
