Our car is a 1968 Satellite, and frankly is our first Mopar. I am super excited about the car, and from a cursory glance, it looks like there is TEMENDOUS room for improvement, both in the rear suspension, but more so in the front. We are working with the same customer on his next project, to do a full on front setup too. Anyway, I hope to have a rear kit out by the end of January, and the front stuff will likely be several months after that due to the relative complexity. Our website is still under construction, but if you are interested, you can shoot me a PM and I can send some photos over to you of our current kits, it will give you a good idea of what the Mopar setup will be like.
It looks to me that a 315 tire will potentially fit in the rear with a bit of modification to the inner fenderwell, there is a pretty significant space between the quarter and the inner, so our plan is to move the fenderwell outwards. I am hoping to get a 315 in the car without tubbing it. If I can't, well, then we'll be tubbing the car, and probably going bigger. It also looks like there is enough room in the front for a 275 as you stated, so it should look really mean. It is not so obvious about fitting a 335 back there, not without a tub deal, but it won't need much relative to other muscle cars in order to make it happen.
I was blown away to learn that the B-body cars are unibody. I already have a concept for a subframe connector, it should be simple to make out of 2.5" square tubing.
Cool cars, I am super excited to learn more about them and to work with other folks who love the cars. There is so little out there, I think we can help out a ton.

I decided on a 295/35/18 on a 18x10 wheel that i am about to order
I dont want to go to a tub deal and cut up the car just yet
I was thinking about a mopar leaf relocator, but after the hassle, the cost(new leafs, relocator kit, shocks, some sort of wheelhop/bind device...traction bar, slide a link, etc) I will be almost at the cost of just a plain ol 4 link and coilovers
I mean I can get any 4 link and just weld it up, throw some qa1 coilovers on it and call it a day right????
The front i think i'll stay with the torsion bars for now till i see something i like
the front will also get 18x8 wheels on probably a 255/40/18 tire
