What is the largest tire I can put on a 17x9 rim that will fit on the back of a stock 89 LX 5.0? Leaving the quad shock in place.

Assuming your rims are equal width what do you plant up front?

What rims are you running/back spacing? You had to remove the quad shocks? Could you have flipped them? I dont want to loose the quad shocks.
