My 69 bee tire size

[Bee383]

My 69 bee has 245 60 15 tires all around on Crager wheels that I believe are 15 x 7.i want to get the back end up a few inches.would 275 60 15 work ok on rear with then 7 wide wheels?thanks,David.

A 275/60/15 will fit fine in the rear wells with the proper backspacing of the rim(got them on the back of my '69 RR) Question is will a 275/60 fit on a 7" rim...Recommended rim width for that tire looks to be 7.5"-9.5"

BTW..I have 8" rims in the back with 4.5" backspacing

I have 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing 275x60x15. Fits no problem on a 68 coronet. I am sure it is the same for a 69. Pretty standard configuration too.

http://vexer.com/68rt/old_outdated_badly_coded_old_old_old_wheelguide.html, this is for 68-70 charger but should be very similiar to yours.

i have 295 35 19 on 19 x 10 rim on the rear of mine and that gives 1 " inside and 1.5" outside my backspace is 5.6"

I put 295/50 15's on the back of the 69 Coronet. 8" rims. No problem, lots of room to spare. Got a deal at Summit. Coopers mounted and balanced on Rallyes. Bitchin.
