I was just wondering what all you guys with stock tubs and no notching of the frame were running under the rear of your Bu's. Im thinking on changing tire sizes and wheel width.

Right now im running
255/70/15 BFG T/A's
15x7 Pacer(draglite look a likes) w/ 4" back spacing with a 7/32's i think spacer. No rubbing what so ever.

Also i lowered it in the rear close to 2"s.

My buddy has the same combo on his '78 Malibu with a GN rear. Fits mint.

Right now I run a 28x9 MT slick on a 15x8 Weld with 3.5" b/s, after talking with Razorblade today I think I'm going to switch to a 28x10.5 on the same wheel.

I have an 8.5" out of a 442 under mine, maybe I should have said that ? :D

I thought I posted this info yeasterday, but I guess not. I run 255/60 R 15 BFG's on 15" x 7" Monte SS alloys. I think the back spacing is 3.75"? No rubbing, even with the new springs that bring the car back to stock ride height in the back.
