Default how do i fit 15X10" rims on the back of my 67 coupe

i found that i can fit a 13.2" wide mickey thompson on a ten inch rim. but the wheel well is only 13 inches wide. do i need to cut out the old wheel wells and get some of those wider tubs they make and thats it, or do i need to re locate frame rails and change the suspension and stuff too? thanks

What's the back spacing? You could roll the fenders, but if the BS is over 6.0 you'll run into having to change the leafs to coil over.

I don't believe in cutting or bending wheel wells just for tire on a street car...just find a smaller tire.....

Then you need slicks. And, with that kind of HP, you'll need some pretty hefty upgrades to the rear anyway, so get rid of the leaf springs, roll the fenders and put some racing slicks on her. And of course, a trailer to haul it to the track.

You can mini tub up to 3/4" but you will need to move the springs in to use it. You can't go anymore without having the back seat narrowed or removed.
