I just picked up a '76 B200 Sportsman Royal SE real D code 440 van, and I'm curious if I have tires sticking out, are they going to hit the body on big dips? I plan on useing the heck out of this van, but want to hotrod it a tiny bit too. Already have slotted mags on the way. Will either tuck 7.5" wides, or run N50's on some 10" wides and let em stick out. 7's or the 7.5 then up front. Also noticed I could easily lower the rear about 2" with minimal modding. Mine has the 6100 GVW rating.

@SixSpeedSS. I Ran 10 Inch Wide Tires on the Back with NO PROBLEM.

I just picked up a 76 Sportsman Royal SE 440 van and was curious about tire sizing.

Now mine seems a tiny bit higher up out back with the current close to stock 28" tall skinnies on it, but I was curious if I had tires sticking out if they will hit the body badly on big dips. I plan on useing the heck out of this van, so I don't really want to hurt the useability of it by hotroding it to much. Have some slotteds on the way. Going either 7.5", or 10" wides out back, depending.

@SixSpeedSS. I had 10" wide Meats(Tires) on the Back of My Van with No Rubbing Issues, but Sometimes it would sling dirt or mud onto the Body. The Tires stuck out past the body by maybe a half inch.

Overall, I like the modifications done on the van. I've always liked Dodge vans of this era. My least favourite is the front grille. I like the original grille. Oh well. It's your van.
