You could play around with this calculator for different tiresizes and see what it recommends for wheel width.

Your 7" wide rims look like a happy medium for P235R60-15 tires.
Go with what you want.
15x8 with 4.5" backspacing on the rear and 15x7 with 4" backspacing on the front would work fine. Depending on what tiresizes you are going with of course.
Yes. I didn't want low score to be winner. And yes, these are just of 3 popular brands. There are several others that have very decent product.
There is a prejudice against some new(er) type tire platforms on muscle era cars. Nitto is one that looks sharp and performs well on tuner cars. But...
And if I ever do change front tiresizes, they might get a little wider, but they won't get any taller than the current 215/70/15's. Wait, a little wider, but no taller - sounds like a joke in there somewhere...
Back around 2000 I had the BFG guys put tires on my RamCharger (off road type). A year or so later I sell the truck to my friend, he came back two weeks later to say the tires are mismatched. Sure enough tire guys had put two different sizes on diagonally. So back to BFG, I showed him the bill...
so 1 is worst and 5 is best?
I've always heard the Goodyear Eagle 15" tires have poor traction, so I'm surprised you rank these higher than the Coopers. I previously ran BFG Radial T/A's and they had worse traction than my current Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T, which are very similar to Cooper...
Hello
Just finishing up my 66 charger . I have 15x7 wheels for the front and 15x8 4 1/2 back space in the rear . I need to order some radial tires for non show days . Any suggestion on tiresizes would be helpful Thanks
Not sure if I’m missing other sizes with Avon but everything I see is smaller in diameter. I’m at 26.5” tall and that’s about as small as I’d like to go.
Yeah, I've noticed for a long time that the late 60's Dodge B bodies have different enough wheel arch sizes and clearances compared to the Plymouth B bodies to matter. The Dodges are a lot more open. I first noticed that on Dennis H's 69 Coronet. It seems to make Wheel/tire combos on the Dodges...
...on the matter but I can attest to what feels right for me.
It looks like 17” diameter wheels are the point where availability of good/great tiresizes are plentiful.
I chose 18s.
I don’t recall exactly why I skipped over the 17” size. I bought mine in2003 so this isn’t really a new trend.
Front with a 6" wheel is good.
A 275 tire is too wide on a 7" wheel. Use a 255/60 on a 7" or the 275/60 on an 8" wheel.
I've used these sizes before, looks and fits nice!
I don't like 8" wheel on front or 10" on rear. Too wide
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...
I bought 245/50x16s for my 95 Z28 from Walmart recently. Falken, speed rated I believe. Search for tires for mid/late 90s mustangs and camaros.
TireSize.com will tell you what sizes there are, and what's available.
GF's 2006 Dakota has Goodyear Wrangler 265/70x16s, probably an suv tire, but...
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...
