tire and wheel size/ rear end question

okay, so i have another newbie question. i want to have my rear tires sucked inside the fenders of my 64 step, so i was wondering what tire/wheel combo's people are using to get that look! will i have to run a shallow wheel with no offset? also, what rear ends other than original will allow for this without tons of money in modifications? i have a 9in under it and its just too damn wide. this seems like such a simple goal but at the moment feels so out of reach! lol

Re: tire and wheel size/ rear end question

You`ll need to measure the overall width of your rear axle from wheel flange to wheel flange, or you`ll need to remove wheel, measure from innermost interferance point to the outermost interferance point, note where your wheel flange point is on that measurement, subtract one inch from both sides that will be the widest rim you can use with the offset you`ll need.
