Wait what size are the tires? My manager told me I could get 315s on the rear if I wanted to. I know for sure you can get 285s on the back. Wheels the biggest you can go is 10" wide for the rear.

mine do the same in the rear but instead of rolling the lip, i think im just gonna go with some air adjustable shocks in the rear and stiffin up the rear a little more and see how that works out. I know it may sacrifice a little comfort but i'm willing to give that up to avoid rolling the quarter panel.

You might consider changing you sig.

If we are talking about the 65 coupe (which is what I have to assume because it is in his profile but he didn't specifically say in the question) you are very incorrect.

And on edit: mhb292 if you can provide what tires you have (size/brand) and what rims you have (size, backspacing) and perhaps a little details about your suspension setup on the 65 we might be able to help understand better where the issue is.

I would still like to know:

tires you have (size/brand) and what rims you have (size, backspacing) and perhaps a little details about your suspension setup on the 65 we might be able to help understand better where the issue was.

For posterity.
