I ended up going with 235x70x15 Coopers on the front. These tires are 28 inches tall, and roughly 9.3 inches wide on a 15x6 rim. I had them mounted on my old school American Racing wheels. In the last photo, I cranked the torsion bars up about 1.5 inches. The tires fit with no issues, and seem...
This is the look I am going for with the front tire size. I cannot tell if these are drag racing front runners, or tall and skinny street tires. Anyone know what size these may have been?
Thank you for posting these pics. I really like your car! Now, I have to add another car to my bucket list.
I really like the first picture with the steelies and the hubcap. What size was that tire?
Thank you!
235x75x15 is actually the tire size I am considering. My headers are Dougs that are 100% under chassis. I dont have the tube sneaking through the inner fender. My 28" Mickey Thompsons did not rub, so I think I should be good with the 235x75x15. I am pretty sure I will go with the Torque Thrusts...
I am so glad this has been helpful, that was my goal! Your car sounds awesome!
I am planning to go as tall as I can on the front. I have a set of 28x7.5x15 Mickey Thopmpson front runners that I have ran in the past. I like the height, but they did not seem "sturdy" enough for the local...
I think the backspacing is key for this tire. the 15x8 with 4.5 inch backspacing puts the tire right in the middle of my wheel well. I have also ready that the Mickey Thompsons measure out different than other tires, so that could affect things. You are 100% right though, no two cars are exactly...
I am not positive on the rear axle placement, but I am pretty sure it is in the stock location. In looking at the tire in the fenderwell, I do not appear to be at risk for rubbing anywhere...unless I go autocrossing with the Mickey Thompsons... ;-)
I have been wondering about tire size and what is the biggest that will fit on a 65 Belvedere. After reading so many comments about 255's being the biggest, with an occassional 275 being the biggest, I decided to find out for myself. I did find 2 posts of people that fit a 295x65x15, so that was...
That is AWESOME! My dream car is a 63 Polara...
My dad and I had one about 10 years ago that we raced locally here in Los Angeles. I wish we had never sold it. Someday...
Thank You!
