I've heard 7" backspacing on 15x12s. That was with a 29x15x15 Hoosier

Re: ? for all you tubbed guys........

The floor on my 67 RestRod was tubbed to the frame rails & I used 15x14 w/9.75 BS & 31x18.5 Mickey T. Sportsmans.

I had to nix the rear bumpstop & related bracket so it wouldn't interfere w/the tire.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

There were some pics on here a while back in a thread about 'mini-tubbing'. The wheels/tires are long gone for some 20's.
