with stock width rear and stock tubs, the consensus seems to be a 15x8 with 3.5 inch b.s. in the rear with a 275/60. as far as how big you can go in front, i don't know, i run skinnies in front.

yea everythin stock with rear just has c clip eliminator and aluminum drums on it .thanks man and plan on running skinnys up front to just dont know whats the normal b.s. for the front.whats the b.s. ur runin for the skinnys?
If youre c-clip eliminators didn't add any width to the rear end, then the optimum backspace is a 4" bs 15" x 8" if available and roll the fenderlip. I have run them with 295/50-15's without problems but my cars were never lowered. A275/60-15 wil fit no problem. If your c-clip eliminators added a little width to the rear end then 4.5" bs may work. You really need to do some measuring on the rear end first.

thanks man ill measure it tomorrow when im getin the lca adjust so the rear is straight in the car. i have moroso rear trick springs in it and the rear sitts lower do u think i can still run like a 275 50r15 on the back or will i have to rise the rear up some. ill try to take some pics once i get it back on the ground to show how much lower the back is
If you're backspacing is right a 275/60-15 should fit no problem. Of course my idea of sitting a little lower may be differenent than yours. Good luck.
I have to appologize I was rereading your last post before mine and realized you asked about 275/50-15 instead of 275/60-15 size tires. A 275/50-15 should fit nicely without any problems. My project car right now I have Centerline Warriors on rear 15x8.5 with E/T streets 26x11.50 which is the equivalent tire to the 275/50-15. My car right now is lowered about 3" in the rear and about 4" in the front from stock as you can se in the pic. No the frame is not notched and the rear end is stock length.
