Further complicating the issue is my car rides on air suspension and i dont want the car resting on the wheels (which will push on the bodywork) when it is aired out. Narrower tyres should help this but i am concerned the outer edge of the wheel will contact the inner face of the guard/fender

Currently i have 15in Cragar S/S with 205/60 tyres. I dont mind altering the rolling diameter (by running smaller tyres) as i will have to run a speedo adapter to suit the TH400 i have installed to replace the dead Super-Hydro 4spd.
You shouldn't need a speedo adapter. Both trannies are 1 to 1 in top gear.
