    I have a 69 A 108 and was wondering what width tires will fit before hitting leaf springs ?

    Depending on your wheels. Are they stock, aftermarket? offset? It all make a difference. I have 225's on the rear with lots of room. They have an 1/2 offset....

    At the moment I have stock 15'' wheels. I want to change to either a Stock aluminum Mopar wheel preferably or maybe some older chrome reverses or Cragar style mags.

    On an 8" wheel you can get a 275/60R15 on the back. Just gotta watch the back-spacing.
