Re: Tire/wheel size
Depends on which rearend you are using. 63-70 with different 5-lug axles or the wider 71-72 5-lug rearend. This will affect you backspacing measurement.

Re: Tire/wheel size
I have a '69 6-lug rearend that measures 55.5" from backing plate to backing plate.
The 71-72 are 3/4" (per side) wider. So that would make the 71-72 rearends 57" from backing plate to backing plate.

Re: Tire/wheel size
I fit 13.5 inch wide slicks on mine, but wasn't low enough to tuck
