67 Coronet RT tire size

[davew1958]

Looking for advice. I am going to 15x6 magnums with 4" BS. I was thinking about using 225/70r15 TA radials all the way around. Anyone running this size? Any pics?

Nice combination, fits on the car nicely!

It’s all personal taste of course but I like that size, very close to typical factory diameter. I think those are 27.4”. Some people go somewhat larger or smaller and I never feel like they look quite right. I personally have 235/60-16 that I like for similar reasons.

I used to run 225R70 BFG T/A's on 15X7 cop wheels on the front of my '67 R/T and found that they scrubbed on rear inner fender well on full turn. I now have 215R70 on 15x7 Jeg's wheels, and they clear fine. I am not sure of respective back spacing, as that might be a factor. I run 235X70 on the rear with no clearance problems. I have added rear sway bar, which keeps rear end more settled.

Do you know what BS the wheels are? I am trying to make sure if I get 225's they wont rub. Once they are mounted on the wheel it's to late to swap out for another size.

These are the 15x7 US Mags Slots. They’re new. Summit shows BS at 3.75”.

Jeg's calls these Sport Torque wheels and shows back spacing in their spec's as 3.75" .
