No idea on backspacing ... but sizes are 255/60 R15 rear and 205/65 R15 up front

I've been looking at different wheel sizes and tire availabilities with the appropriate speed ratings to pass tech inspection for higher speeds for Open Road racing. The tire options are slim with the 15 in wheels and there are many choices until you get to 18 in and bigger. I have a 70 Road...

The sizes I have are as stated. I did a google search on the P275/60 R16 tire and looked through a catalog I had. It’s going to be a challenge to get that tire size as time goes on.

When the 62 is sitting level, what are the inches to the top of the wheel openings -- Front ? -- Back ? -- Don't care about tire sizes -- Just sitting level. ------ My real question is -- Are they the same, when the car is sitting level ?

Thank you I'll try that calculator.

Nope. Tire designations indicate,section width. So, on the checking rim, a 235 is supposed to be somewhere around 235mm section width. Other than that, right!

Tire rack had the tread width and height listed for those 2 bfg sizes.

I'm blessed/cursed with a need to avoid waste, to try to make do with what I have rather than throwing out stuff that still has value. That sure does seem to be the case. I was at 4 used tire stores today looking for some trade-in tires in the 245-50-16 and 255-50-16 size. Not ONE in the four...

related but not the same car for sale.... there was one that sold there last year.... i can see the tire sizes, but anyone know what the BS is on the wheels on this one is? American Racing Baja black 8 holes. BAJA on this car. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T 440

Nice thing about 17" wheels you can fit many aftermarket disc brake kits w/far more room & on a bigger wheel well like the B-bodies have in 68-70 anyway 17 front & 18's rear is the about the biggest I'd do, fits nicely if you get the right tire/wheel combo, it 'still looks good' & not too...

I don't remember exact tire sizes, but I did something similar on my 62

I like the look. I went with the same wheel and tire sizes as you. Just a nice balance. Was on the fence for the Diamondback redlines, but decided to go with a stickier rear tire

...lower the rear will the tires clear the fender wells. I can't tell from the pictures what the rear suspension looks like. I will have to look and see what my tire sizes are, but they are as big as I could get and not scrub on the inside or outside of the fenderwells and allow suspension travel.

Look at tire size charts and try to understand aspect ratios. The sizes listed in the OP would result in a taller tire in the front, not a good look imho…

What size and backspace are those daisy rims on your car? What tire sizes?

There are quite a few threads concerning wheel and tire size. Give it a quick search and you’ll find more info about it than you’ll ever need. And btw the sizes you mentioned are perfectly fine as long as your back spacing/ offset is in the neighbourhood of centre

Report Curiousyellow71 Thank you for that information Report Report Thank you for that info, just what I was looking for. Once again you guys cane through!

What do you think of tire sizes?

Looking for advice on tire sizes for my wheels. They are 15x7 with 4” backspace on the front and 15x8.5 with 5” back space on the back. Any suggestions for tire sizes that would fit best with no rubbing on the wheel wells? These are on a 69 charger that I’m swapping out the original 14” steels
