All with stock rear ends.
  • 62 Impala HT - P225/70R15 on 15 by 7 Radar wheels I will have to check the backspace -at least 3 1/2 inches I think
  • 62 Impala SS Hardtop - P235/55R16 on 7" Billet Speciality wheels (front) and P235/55R16 rear on 8 inch rim --I think all 4 rims have 4 inch backspace
  • 62 Impala SS convertible - P225/70R14 front and rear on 14 x 7 Radar rims - I think at least 3 1/2 inch backspace
I tryed Nitto drag radials P275/50R15 - on 8 Inch Corvette Rally wheels and they would not fit the rear 1/4's Had to go back to 7" wheels.
