    I am not quite ready yet and I only have 5.5 inch wheels I was wondering if anyone has put anything bigger than a 205/70/14 on the back of their wagon??? Maybe a 215? Thanks Ryan

    When we redid our 63 Falcon Ranchero we put American Racing Torque Thrust II's on it. We shod it with new rubber at the time as well.
    I had a post that showed the whole build, but can't seem to locate it now.
    Anyway, I can't recall the tire size now, but I know the wheels are 15X7. With that wheel we were just able to get it to clear the rear wheel well. The lips had been rolled, so they just barely tucked up under there.

    This is before paint, but how the car sits now with the tires and wheels:

    looks nice

    Looks good if you could somehow get the tire size that would be great, fenders are not rolled on my car, I want to try to stuff in 215/70/14 in the back,

    Who would have thought you could say stuff and 215/70/14 in the same sentence. LOL Ryan

    No kidding. The car is currently in winter storage, but I may be able to get that size to you sooner than later.
