Got my rims for my challenger 10 x 15 with 3.5 inch back space leaf spring relocation kit.
Would I be able to run 295 60 or  305 60 series tyres and have the car sitting quite low as pictured.
Going to get the diff shortened to suit want to buy the tyres  but not sure if they will fit without any issues.
Tyres are 275 60 for test fit but looks like I can go bigger?

Have you widened the inner tubs ? Using a 10" wide rim, the 275/60 is actually just a little too narrow. Actually 8-8 1/2' rim is a better fit for that size tire.

Don't realy want to widen the inner tubs


MoparLeo

The inner tub width will determine how wide you can go.

If you have a 275 in there now, a 295 will only be 10mm wider on each side. Do you have that much space visible on each side? The photo kind of looks like it.

The frame rail will limit your size before the wheel tub will. The frame rail is wider behind the axle and will be the first place you'll have interference.

I'm surprised you could even get a 3.5" backspace wheel to fit a tire INSIDE the wheel lip. I didn't think that was possible with a stock width E body rear housing.

Getting the e body diff shortened
The 275 60 fits well tried a 295 50 and also will just work
Any pictures of 295 60 15
