    I have looked but cant find a thread about rear rim size and tire size so here go's.
    If I am going to run a Weld Racing wheel (draglight, prostar etc). What is the largest rear rim can I run and what back spacing should I have? For the tire to not stick out like a roller skate?

    Also what is the largest slick and radial I can fit under my 73 Maverick. With a stock length 8".

    Thanks in advance.
