I am sure plenty of guys can tell you what they used numbers wise...but every car can very a little.

On a 68 Camaro a 315 tire on a 11" wheel fits nice with the DSE Deep Tubs....if you are willing to trim or roll the outer fender lip you can get a 335 on a 12" wheel in there. FWIW, I have a 335 on a 11.5" wheel on my 68 with trimmed lips.

Oh, and welcome to the site!!

Can you tell me how much you shortened your rear end to get those rims and tires on??? What is the total width from axle hub to axle hub???

I had my car done last summer and went with 11" rims with 5.5 BS and LOVE it. I did not want to push the edge too much on size and am very happy with the 315 size tires.

Sorry Rob but the car is 3k miles away right now so I can't measure for you. But understand that you can use a stock width axle with this size wheel/tire you just won't have quite as much dish as if you narrow the rear end.
