Thanks
I have 205-14's on the front and 255-15's on the rear. I know it isn't a B body. 255-60's will fit on 15x7's on a 70 Swinger
That's a beauty. I like the look of the 14's on the front. You can raise the torsion bars a bit and still have a rake.
Theoretically, a 255 is a 255, whether a 50, 60, or 70. Same width supposedly, height being the difference. So, if a 255/70 fits, so will a 60.
A 255/60 would theoretically be about an inch widerin section than your current 235s. Assuming the same wheels, do you have more than a half inch room inside and out? If you do, they should work.
I sometimes run 255/70x15s on my 62, on 15x8 ramcharger rims. (NOT enough backspace.) Tight on the outside, plenty room to the springs/inner tubs.
I need to look mine over more closely. They look like standard offset Cragars. They may only be 6" wide. I need to try and measure. if they are 7" wide they would have 3 1/2" backspace.
I have read some really old threads from different forums and some have said 255/60/15 do fit on a 67 Coronet. It depends on your back spacing and rim. Guys who have used 15x7 rims no problem others have said 15x8 also work while others said slight tire rub in corners. Then there are guys who have said they have run 275/60/15 with tire rub in corners but if they roll the fender lip they are good.
