A 285/40/17 on a 17x9.5 wheel will fit the rear of a 64-65 w/o mods. How wide do you wanna go?

Not sure how wide I would like to go, but I love the way Malitude looked. I am thinking about moving the rear frame in about 2-3 inches. I'm also thinking about using a 9" ford in it that is narrowed about 2 inches.

Here are some shots of a 64 2-door wagon that had the rear framerails pinched from more tire clearance.

That is exactly what I'm wanting to do. That car looks great. Do you know what size tires are on it?

I think they were 15" wide x 28" tall, but I will look it up next week and post.
