I think a 275mm-285mm wide tire on a 10" rim. Leaf springs would be the first clearance issue. You can do a leaf spring inboard kit, Mopar or Mancini Racing sells them.

Check out www.forabodiesonly.com The guys there aren't really into heavily modified Abodies like mine, but would know for sure on the rear wheel question.
Thanks for the compliment

Thought I'd update a bit.....

The first pic is before the cage was re-done

Tim re-built the cage......less "pro-street" more passenger friendly. Installed a splined rear sway bar. Rear suspension finally done, triangulated 4 link, backbraced 8 3/4, and rear bar.

Gotta get the right coilovers now......any suggestions? 90%street/10% track
