I struggled with gear set choices/transmission ratios/tiresizes for a while when trying to decide on what RPM I was comfortable cruising at. To help, I made an excel spreadsheet that auto-calculates RPM vs speed for a given car (after inputting some known or hypothetical values). Was very...
I see that you are very new.
You will have.much more responses to your question if you post in the tires and wheel section.
That said, IF those are the correct backspace, those wheels should work. I would run one size smaller tire on each end. Lots of tire is hard to get under a 66/67 b-body...
Have a '64 Sport Fury that is currently running very old 215/65 R15's in the front and 235/60 R15's in the rear--all on American Racing Torque Thrusts. Front wheels are 7 1/2" and rear wheels are 8 1/2". I heard Mark Worman on GYC TV show recently say that on a '68 Charger, he would routinely...
What are your tire/wheel sizes on those spiffy Keystones? I need to get a couple new ones, but they are out of stock everywhere. And even worse, their custom shop will not be opened back up until at least next summer.
...rear is 285/40r17 on the 17x9.5 rim. I was thinking the front would be 245/45r17 on the 17x8 wheel
But now I’m wondering if I could do a 275/40r17 on front with the 17x9.5?
I would love to hear your guys opinions and thoughts as well as pictures of your set ups with tiresizes. No 18”s!! 17”...
What gives you the idea that it will give you more than what you have now? Bottoming the suspension happens when the speed of suspension travel exceeds the clearance that is needed. You need to limit the travel speed by stiffening it up (or lightening the car). Changing to a different style...
Looking to finally upgrade the hodge podge wheels on my project car. Can a few people confirm what size they are running on their 66 Coronet's or other B-body that we know has the same clearances?
Someone posted these sizes a while back. Is this the sweet spot for my car?
Front - 15x7 4.25 BS...
The bottom one looks to be the Hoosier Pro Street series tire. They make huge sizes with great water evacuation grooves, but I believe they are a harder compound tire and won't get the same traction a drag radial or the bias-ply Mickey Thompson Sportsman pictured on the other two.
These are 18" and 20" on a 73. The wheel opening are different than on your wagon, make sure you have the room. The rear tires I went with are 265 /45 R20 and are 29.4" tall. The fronts are 245/50 R18 and are 27.7" tall. You wont find an 18" and 20" tire in the 24" to 26" tall sizes like you...
I’m looking at getting some new wheels for my 1969 bee and a lot of the wheels I’m looking at are on back order in the sizes I want. Initially I was thinking 17x7 fronts with 17x8 rears. But the wheels I found only come in 17x8. They are 0 offset and 4.5” backspacing. Curious how skinny of a...
nothing special. stock except added extra heavy duty mopar leafs, hotchkis subframes, hotchkis front and rear sways. spindles stock all around.
wheels are 15x7 all around. 4” backspace on front and 4.5” at rear. tire size are all p235/60r15.
got $50 worth of gas…just a hair over 7.5 gallons...
I just looked up the two sizes of BF Goodrich I run on Fred:
225/70/15
275/60/15
Both these particular tires are manufactured in Mexico.
If you go to tirerack.com and look at the specs for a given tire, it will tell you the country of origin.
EDIT: I just checked the same sizes in Cooper Cobra...
I'm very happy with my Mickey Thompsons Sportsman S/T's. They seem to handle track use and street use well, and aren't wearing down as fast as I'd expect them to.
Here are the sizes on my 69' Bee
Front Rim: 15x8, 4.5 bs
Front Tire: 245/60R15
Rear Rim: 15x10, 5.5 bs
Rear Tire: 295/50R15
There is a "b-bodies with 17" wheels" thread, and another, same title, except 18"
There is even a thread with bigger wheels that asks owners to give tire and wheel sizes and backspace.
Christmas Gift ideas:
1. Tire Air Change Kit. This kit comes with everything you need to change the air in your tires. This highly recommended but often overlooked maintenance item is much easier now. Remember to change your air every 3,000 miles or twice a year. $25
2. Blinker Fluid. You knew...
...get the correct parts to fit I don't care.
I'd use Mopar spindles if I could...I already know every part I'll need (including wheel and tiresizes) to get everyting to fit without body mods.
Not really concerned on a smaller turning radius, I'm also using a smaller 14" steering wheel which...
Unfortunately those babies are long gone and the polyglass. I keep seeing new ones but we certainly arent building them.
If a goodyear tire is built at Lawton Facility it will have a DOT number with M6 on the sidewall. Thats our location number. We barely even build tires with white lettering...
I ran a set in the 90's and just put a set on one of my Chargers last month. Personally, I like the the tread appearance better than the BFG, otherwise they are very comparable to the BFG tire. The dimensional sizes run slightly smaller in comparison.
Maybe Goodyear did just buy Cooper? I was...
