I have a 67 Satellite presently fitted with rally wheels and 235-70-14 tires, was wondering what size of wheel/tire set up I could have for the rear wheels without having to disturb anything (relocating leafs etc) thanks

You can run a L-60 15 on a 15x7 rim with 4 1/8 back spacing without touching the fenders.
I cut the inner lip out of my 67 Satellite and I can run a M&H 28x10 on a 15x8 rim with 4 1/2 inchs of back spacing.
That is my street set up, at the track I run M.T. DOT 12.50 x 28 et streets on the same 15x8 rims, However the 12.50 are real tight even with the lip cut out.

Thanks for the reply, seems like when you say you have a 67, they expect you can fit something huge in there, but there really isnt a lot of room. Any snaps of your ride? I imagine the 15's work miracles on this ...largeish.. vehicle!
Thanks again

Check under readers rides and look for Drmopars 1967 Plymouth Satellite, there you will see a bunch of pictures of mine & my friends 67 Satellites doing battle at a local mopar meet.
