The consensous is people telling others what they think fits because they hate being wrong. I also helped my buddy the coupe make his fit.

I was at a car show about 3 years ago and some know it all guy thought he'd be a smart a$$ and try prove me wrong WITHOUT looking at my tires and tell a crowd theres no way in hell you could put a 275 on 64-66 without a mini tub or moving leafs. After a few minutes of his BS i told him to get on his knees and see what size my tires are.Needless to say, he told people he could see where I cut the wheel housing.

You will need to "massage" the front corners with a BFH in about 1/4-3/8" depending how centered your axle is.Other then that, its no major surgery.Next im goint to put a M/T 11.50X26X17 when i have some time.
