How wide of a tire?
How wide of a tire can I go on my 73? I tried searching it and came up with the wheel fitment chart/guide but it doesnt have the fitments for 71 and up. So if anyone has another guide or could tell me how wide that would be awesome.

It all depends on backspace and how tall the tire is, that guide seems to be pretty good, might be able to fit bigger with a little work. Not exactly small wheel wells on the 71-73. Custom offset will allow pretty big wheels. I have a 9" rim under the 71 right now, and it has a bunch of room before it hits the inside. I like to have at least half an inch clearance on the rears inside, the only outside spots to worry about are at full compression at the top of the arch. The back side is all the way around the wheel above the spring.
