Thanks for the imput, I just want to run as wide a tire as possible with out cutting my beam. I have heard of guys running 205/55s on the front but most have been 17" rims. For the rear I need to know how wide a tire I can stuff in the stock fenders with out too many headaches 7",8", 9".....????Thanks again. JB. (again rims are 6s front 7s rear)

I don't know if there are any differences between a '71 Super and a '76 standard with regards to stock rear fenders. Therefore, I can't imagine any problems using a 7-inch rim back there, and using 225's may be possible as well.

Again, I have a 6½-inch rim (et52) but I also have 8mm spacers. It may be determined by the offset you are using.

I spent a fair amount of time underneath my car measuring and dusting off some old math skills. I was 97% successful in the end. (I may try for that last 3% in the next 12 months. )
