Agreed. I've got 15x8 "steelies" that I got from Jegs or Summit or (?). The factory dog dish hub caps fit and they're just about perfect. I want to say I've got 265/60/15's and I've rolled my outer fender lips on a 70 Road Runner. Just by eyeball, 8" wide and maybe 1/2"-1" more offset...
I've had good luck with factory 15" junkyard steel wheels up front and replicas that are 15"x8" in the back (Summit Racing?) I'm sure others have them. Factory dog dish hubcaps fit perfectly. I like them
On my 70 Roadrunner, I ran 15x10 wheels with 4-5/8" backspacing (tires? can't remember) with super stock springs (similar to your +2"). I "rolled" the outer fender well lips and they still hit the sidewalls with passengers in the back or angle/hill/turns like pulling into an odd gas station...
There are aftermarket "custom offset" factory looking wheels. I can't remember where I got mine, but I've got 8" wide steel rims and take factory hubcaps
dude....I've got a set of those too and they look killer. I ran those for years until I found a set correct for my year. Tip, get some model paint and repaint the outer low parts of the ridges...they'll look awesome
Gee, nobody should ever drive on those tires. If they're not original equipment on some car, then they're worth -$20 (disposal fee). If you can verify they're original on something, they'd be worth something to someone.
I always put WD-40 on my aluminum wheels in the winter while driving in salt/snow. It looks like hell, but when you wash it off in the Spring the aluminum is not pitted.
Also...be at least a little bit careful if you "scrub" the magnesium since magnesium bits can burst into flames. Never...
I don't know your answer (somebody here probably does). There are charts online that show various tire's height + width. fyi-all 235/15's (for example) are really close in size, but vary slightly brand-to-brand.
Anyway...you can probably find out on this site what are the largest 15" tires...
There are some real tire experts on this website....I just own a 70 RR & am putting new tires on it. Is it possible for you to get a set of 8" rims on the back & narrower up front? I "think" the original 70 RR optional wheels were 15"x7". A good starting point might be to see if you can...
Owning a 70 Roadrunner, I'm 99% sure that tire won't fit up front....I mean, it would fit if you never want to turn your wheels, but driving the car, I don't think so.
I've come up with "roughly" a 28" diameter MAX tire up front & that's only on a stock steel wheel. It looks to me like a...
