    Will a 27 x 11.5 x 15 on a 8 inch rim with a 4.5 back spacing fit under the rear of my 70 mav??? I know ill have to roll the fenders maybe pull them out a little thats ok , just want to make sure that is all ill have to do.
    Thanks

    im pretty sure they will rub on the inside fender.
    my 275-60x15s on a 15x8 rim with 4.5 back spacing needed a 1/4 spacer to minimize the rubbing. still would rub on big bumps and dips.

    They do fit ive got mt et streets 28x11.5,15x8 wheel is 4.5" backspacing and a 3/16 spacer with the inner fender lip trimmed off the problem ive had is the parking brake cable rubber the back side of the tire at high speed,did did nothing to the tire drivin on the high at 70.but after a highway race with a zo6 it rubbed so guessin it was the tire growth

    .255 X60x15`s on a 15x 8 rim its tight to the leaf but a 1/4 inch spacer will fix that
