Skinny rear springs 72 long stepside

[beetle1960]

I know I have read on here somewhere smaller diameter springs to use on the rear to provide clearance for large width tires, I have searched and cant find the posts. I have 29 x 15.5 x 15 Hoosier Pro Streets, I have tubbed the wells but I am not going to be able to use the stock springs due to their diameter. Any ideas on what springs I need to run?

What type of rear suspension?
What size wheels?
What backspacing?
Was the rear end narrowed & if so how much?

Coil-overs would be the typical 'smaller diameter' springs that a builder would use in a 'pro-street' application. Depending on how it's set-up & the type of suspension, they may or may-not be necessary.

currently stock trailing arm suspension
wheels are 15x12 with 4.25 backspace
rear end will be narrowed to approx. 54"

actually I do like the coil-over suggestion...but I need help on this one, any suggestions on reading how to publications?
