I agree, it does look tough. They are clainimg a 13.4 section width.
I am lowering it with Caltrac split monos 1" drop and sliders.
Since it is street driven I might play it safe and go with the 295/65-15.

Thanks, Travis

I narrowed mine a '72 nova, I'm thinking about 1/4 inch out of the stock frame.

Do you guys think a MT 315/60-15 on a 10"rim will fit with the right backspace?

I'm thinking of going with A MTT-3762R 295/65-15.

Thanks

I was looking at this:

Hiding them under a carb heat shield behind carb.
Those under manifold systems are really expensive.

I broke down and got the millermatic 252.
Wow is it nice, at least i have something i can't outgrow.

What size wire do you guys usually run?

I bought some .030, but some like .035 for
roll cages and stuff.

Thanks guys, that really helps,
especially because they don't have any
tabs or brackets mounted to them.

I bought a set of pro street seats for the '72 nova. I am finally getting rid of the uncomfortable plastic summit seats I got with the car. How do you guys mount them? http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=KIR%2D99204&N=700+400266+4294925230+115&autoview=sku I pr...

I have an old Lincoln weldpack 100 mig. I've been looking for a 220v, probably a Miller even though my old lincoln was a good welder. I'be got my eye on thier Millermatic DVI 2 #907323, but they have a Millermatic 212 #907324 for a couple hundred more. The DVI will run 110 or 220, just not sure the ...

yea, I hate to buy new wheels too. I mounted the 29.5/10.5-15 on the 8" rim just to see what it looked like. It pulled the section width from 13" to 12.5". I'm definately gonna run them on a 10" rim. When I get rims I'll get them mounted and measure them so I can get them centere...

thanks guys I figured i was going to narrow it anyway and do aftermarket axles all in one shot. I have just enough room to get my fingers between the tire and quarter. If i hit a bump on the street it will rub. I'll be replacing my 275/60-16 with MT 29.5/10.5-15. If I keep my 4 1/2" backspace w...

I have a '72 nova with a 8" rim with 4 1/2 backspace. I am in the middle of a mini tub project and looking to get another 2" of tire under there. Currently running 275/60-15 I'm looking at getting a set of 10" wide rims. The rear is going to get shortened a little depending on the rim...

Well, those seats aren't all that comfortable for long term use, I guess it's how much pain you're willing to put up with. A friend built a Yenko nova semi clone, and installed 4 of those seats in it with the yellow covers. They're OK for short hops, but I don't want to spend more than 20 minutes o...

John Calvert recommends that you install the slider so that the center of the rear spring eye is 1" - 1 1/2" from the back of the slider while resting on the ground.[/quote] Thanks Gearjammer that's a big help. What is the best way to fab a mount for the slider? I was thinking of a plate o...
