I need to put new rims and tires on my car and I would appreciate alittle input on what you guys have put on your same cars , wanna go with 15" x 8" but not sure yet.Thanks

8 inch stock wheels are tight if not too big....7's work fine with the limited tire width of a 66/67 B body..Can't get much under there unless springs are moved inboard

Thanks Terzmo that is what I was thinking , don`t want to mod suspension . still looking for more input and I either will go with Cragars or Magnum 500 rims I have old Cragars on now 14`s in front and 15`s in the back but want to go with all 15`s.

8.5 works fine with a 275 60 15 with the right backspacing on the rear

And what would be the backspace?

I have 8x15 Magnum 500's with a 4.5" backspace on my 66 Coronet 500 on the rear. Tires are 235/60R15.

7x15 & 8x15 with 235/60R15 & 255/60R15.


You can go 275 on an 8" with the right backspacing, but it looks tight....
