The 15x6 are A12 rims, 4" backspace I think, with 235 70x15s. The rears are 15x8 ramchargers with 4" bs also, not enough offset for my car to run 275s, so there got 255/70x15s on em. I've got some 10x28x16 slicks that fit great with 4 3/4" bs. (very dusty Arizona garage).
I just peeked over at Tire Rack and, once the sticker shock wore off, realized the Coopers are now considerably
cheaper!
Here's my two sizes - note the $160 difference in set prices...
17” performance tire options are limited as well. I went 17” wheels and am sorry I didn’t go 18”. Needless to say I will be selling my 17” wheels / tires or putting them on a different car.
Not clear if you are simply looking for the biggest tire that will fit w/o rubbing or opinion on size. Either way, I think you got the answer to both. Opinions can vary greatly on the latter.
...asked about mph vs my rpm, and that i had the stock height G60 gy plygls tires before.. Rims are 8" all around so I have a good choice of tiresizes available ! 440ci, single 4brl carb, mild cam, alum heads but mild from what we can tell, 727 3 speed auto.
I agree with your views, likely...
About those wheel locks.
The Internet suggested I go to my tire store and ask if they have a key. The guy pointed out they have a 7-spline key for the back wheels but the front needs a 10-spline key.
:cursin:
I stumbled onto the kit that AutoZone sells for $50. Since they're a block away...
It's tough to tell. The front rims look skinny, perhaps 5"? The rears look wide, 8 or 8.5. Tiresizes?
Remember, many guys change out the 64' rear end for one a few years newer because they are narrower.
I'm not sure if you want to do that to your car. I have an idea. Go to YouTube and type in...
There are many threads, if you use the Search function, about wheel backspacing & tiresizes on these early B's. I, personally, cannot imagine those "fitting" whatsoever on a '66 with stock wheel wells. Others may have better news for you.
...redline tires on my GTX. Decided on 15x7 wheels on all four corners. Went with 225/70R15 tires on the front and 255/60R15 on the rear. The tiresizes pretty well level out the ride of the car. Like the beefier look under the rear end. Looks like maybe a little over an inch of clearance...
I think you will be ok with 70's on a 8.5 rim.
No 2 tire manufactures make sizes exactly the same, tho numerically they are the same.
I have run 75 series on a 8'' rim without a problem or looking stupid.
I have 18 x 10s in the back. 4 3/4” back space. I used to have a 295-45-18. It looked stuffed in the wheel opening.
That size is listed as 28.5 inches tall.
I wanted a bit of clearance around the tire and didn’t like the taller 45 series sidewall. I wanted to go to a 40 series tire but the...
I'll add my 2 cents. I bought a set through Jegs that were from Coker Tire because of their free shipping.
Same sizes you posted. I really like them alot! I'm a retired machinist, so before I had the Cobras mounted
I put them on the front hubs and torqued them down. Did a runout check and all...
Once I get the interior done, I want to refinish (fall project) a pair of 14x8 rallye wheels and get some tires for them.
I have two questions;
1. What is the biggest tire that will fit on the rim ?
2. What is the widest that will fit a 71 charger ?
I know this has been discussed, but I...
The sizes BLK 68 R/T mentioned are good sizes given your wheel size. You can fit a LOT of tire in those rear wheel wells, but you'd need a 10" rim to really take advantage of that. You could run a 295/50 or a 295/60 in the rear with the 8.5 rims. Personally I think the 295/50 is too short on...
