Will I be able to fit these in the back of my 1972? Looking at the 29x12.5r15. with 15x10's?

I don't know if they will fit just because of the height. My 71 has a trimmed lip and a different width rear end then stock, but I am running MT Street Slicks 28x12.5x15. They fit good on an 8.5" rim, but I don't think I could fit a 29" tall tire, if I could I would. Jim

I run the 325/50R15 drag radials, which have an 11" section width which is slightly wider than what you're looking at, but only 28" tall.

My opinion is that they will fit, but you will need to put air bags in the rear springs to keep the rearend from bouncing a lot as the upper/inner fender is round and you will probably have rubbing issues. I did and that solved the problem.
