I'm curious If I can run 5.5 BRMs mounted out back with 195-65'? I know I can no problemo. But on long axles it's gonna be tight! Especially as low as it is!

I had 205/70s on 5.5s for my 67 with no issues, check the lowered specs thread, with that camber the tires should go right up inside those fenders with no rubbing/probs unless you put some fat chicks in the back seat
