    Tire size

    Hey guys,

    Is anyone running a 205-75-14 on a 6" wide rim on the rear end of their round Body?

    I'm wondering if that is going to give me clearance issues? To complicate things I'm using a 8" rear from a Maverick that is about 1" wider overall than the original rear.

    I have 185s all around right now and I want to give it a little attitude, or at least some altitude

    Bill if it helps any I am running a 225x45x17 on the back of my falcon. It's tight but it fits with no rubbing.

    Are you still running a 8" or 8.8"?

    Both they fit with the eight and I'm almost done doing the 8.8 swap. The eight inch was at 56.5" WM to WM. The 8.8 is at 57" WM to WM.
    WM =wheel mount surface. If the flu hadn't caught me I'd be test driving it now.

    One more question, do you remember the back space on your wheels?
