You can BARELY FIT 9.0 radial with some lip massage. Calvert makes a narrower rear monoleaf that make a big difference. Still no walk in the park!

You are going to have to do your homework. I had to do everything to get a 9 x 30 radail under the car. As John said narrow leaf springs and a lot of massaging. I wouls also start with a 8.5 inch rim if you have not done a lot of work to the car.

10" Rim with 4 and 7/8 or 5 back. 8.5 with 4.25 or 4.5 with small spacer if you must. Our Volare/Aspen combo has HUGE fenderwells by comparisions. Mopar makes a spring hanger that is .8" narrower that will bolt in A Body..... you might try that, it looks stock if you are good at rewelding spring hanger on housing but it probably is not legal but not very noticable.

Thanks for all the input guys.

I have to do work to the quarters on the car, and I'm OK with massaging the lips as I'm sure I'll need to. Planning on stretching the leading edge of the opening which will help with tire diameter, width is the major issue .

John: are the hangars you are referring to the ones which move the spring inboard .80 inch? I have those now I just have to figure out how to "sneak" the rear shackles in .80 too.

Make a housing the length you need, or you can get it made from Moser. Get exactly what you need, massage the wheel opening, and it will work. I personally like the 10 in rims better. Ours are 5" bs.
