Just was wondering whats the biggest tire that you guys are throwing under a g body without major modification. also how big and wide of rims are you running. I'd appreciate it!
Thanks Logan

I have seen a 295/65/15 (29"tall) drag radials on the back with just a relatively simple frame notch. Hey 78MC-BBC are the 275/40s drag radials and how are they hooking for you? 60foot, 1/4mile, mph?

i have 29x10 hoosier stickies on mine stock!!! i have a 15x8, 4.5" backspacing, and half inch worth of spacers. all i did was roll the lip good so it didnt cut the tires if it does rub. it just rubs around corners. off the line, it doesnt rub at all (the body actually lifts up off the rearend, pushing the rearend into the ground). but, i think i am about the only one, about EVER, do get anything that big stock to fit
