ok so i have the rear end out from the car, sorry no pics my camera fried about two weeks ago, and i would like to know just how wide i can go before i have to tub, that and just how big of a mini tub can i go with and still use the original trim panels, and with that how big of a tire then?
the car is a 1970 fastback

 

Interesting question ???? All i know is without tubbing i have 7s in the front and 8s in the rear??

I would like to know tubbed.... i imagine it would be a little rough tubbing underneath the mustang quite a bit of modification i would think and perhaps a gas tank change or relocation??? This is all speculation from looking at my 66...

 

A 275/60/15 on a 8 1/2 wide wheel with 4 1/2 to 5 inch back spacing shoould fit fine.

 

I am runing 17x8 41/2 back spacing 245/45/17 front 285/40/17 rear

Could go as wide as 295/315 without a tub

 

This is the largest tire I have seen installed on the rear of a 69/70 without serious modification.

I'm running 17 x 9.5 with 275 40 17's on my 67 vert and I know 69-70's can go a bit wider

heres some pics http://htwheelz.smugmug.com

 

has anyone stoked themselves up enough to stick in some mini tubs i was hoping to run some SWEETcragar's, 15 X10, with some big, tall m/t's kinda like DOT slicks basically, i'm building what is basically gonna be a 60's style/pro street/drag car/dd for the first time in history of the mustang, and i really want to know if the quater panel trim will fit with some mini tubs, i really REALLY want to keep a stock/mild 12 point cage interior

P.S. i thoght that someone else with a 67 GT 500 E did this, i remember because we got into an argument over which is better turbo's or 8-71's
