TCI 3 Link with 335 Tires?

[1955LSX]

I have a set of DSE deep tubs waiting to go on my 69 Camaro, I was originally planning on going with their quadra-link suspension as well but now considering the TCI 3 link. Does anyone have any experience with this setup or know max tire width that can be ran? I'm dead set on running 335 tires!

Fairly certain TCI says 315mm

It's been a couple days since I've been logged in here so I just now saw this. We have and recommend a 315 tire on the 1st gen Camaro. I'm sure you could squeeze a 335 in there with a rolled lip and more of the frame rail removed. We used a Classic Industries stock replacement tub moved over to a slightly notched frame rail. We didn't notch the frame rail as far as needed for the DSE tub. With a DSE tub and some modification to our coilover crossmember you will have some more room than we do on our car.

Here are some pics I just took with my camera phone with the car on the lift. *camera phone so sorry for the low quality* The only time this tire rubs on the inside is on steep driveway transitions.

There is about .5" clearance on the outside


This one came out really dark but this is the inside clearance which is about .75".


This is the clearance of the bars and brackets.


This one shows our coilover crossmember and how much the rail was notched.

Jason,
You need a new phone. That's about clear as mud.

yah yah yah It's the thought that counts.

I won't even bother trying Ben's camera cause that thing is waaaaay over my head. I'll bring in one of my point and shoots tomorrow.

I hope these 'clear' it up a little.


Keep in mind that the car is not at ride height.




Here is a shot of the rubbage I was talking about.
