Projects shoebox tire width

  1. Getting my rolling ch***is done slowly, I am wondering if anyone knows what the widest wheel and tire combo I can fit in the stock frame and wheel well is?

    Mine had a 245/**/15 on it when I bought it. The black walls were worn white on both sides. It rubbed everywhere. I swapped to a BFG 235/60/15 and it works fine. I get slight rubbing if I don't take it easy on corners. A panhard bar would make it perfect.

    a 245 will fit on an 8" rim with 4 1/8" backspace with no rubbing if you take it easy around corners. This is tested on 2 55's and 2 56's.
