Would 275s fit the fronts of a 74 roadrunner, has anyone tried this yet and how did they look.
Thanks

Tried it for giggles. It's just a touch TOO big. I run 255's on the front of my 73.

LOL I thought someone might have tried it. I had a good deal on 4 275s but thought I would ask first..Thanks Rev

I was running 60's (not 275) on the front of my 74 and changed to 70's with 60's on the rear. The 60's seem to wander, maybe due to being wider.
The 70's drive/ handle much better. My son-in law has a 67 Chevelle and he also went from 60's to 70' on the front after driving mine.
Just my thoughts since you are tire searching.:blush:

Your gonna have to run 8 inch wide rims to keep the sidewalls in check. I will try to get pics of mine up soon.
Oh, and that support brace on the wheel lip is going to have to say goodbye also....

I run 236/60/15 front and 255/50/15 rear. I've tried 275/60/15 front but they just had to much side wall flex for the car to handle. In the spring my 255/50's are going to the front and 295/50' are going on the rear. The short side wal and 25.4 inches tall makes the 255/50 a real goos front tire.
