Tire size

[mopar951]

Hi guys I have a 1969 Dodge coronet the wheels are 15x8 currently the tires are 235/60/15 I was wondering would 255/60/15 be too big in the front? I’d like to keep the tires all the same size

Can't say for sure but you may have a better chance of 245/60r15 fitting in the front.

Personally, I think 255/60's are too wide for the front of these cars. I have run 245/60/15 on the front and 295/50/15 on the rear though, and think that is about the max.

I can't say with 100% certainty they'll fit because I dont have a coronet but I'm running 275/50 on the front of my 69 charger so I think a 255/60 would fit alright.

On a 15" wheel?

How wide are the front wheels and what offset? Is the front of your car lowered?

I have 255/60-15 all 4 on a 70 Plymouth, fit fine on stock 15x7 rallies. No rubbing ever.

It’s 25 inches high in the front the offset I believe is 4.25 and they are 15x8

Same here on 5 different sets of wheels and tires that I have.

Theoretically, 255s will be just under an inch wider in section. Turn your fronts lock to lock see if you have clearance for a half inch more tire in both directions.
And the 4 1/4" on your wheels is backspace. Offset is a WHOLE different thing.
P.S. love the daisies!
