Seeking advice for tire size on vintage Slot wheels

[Justasgood]

I guess he's wondering about the 265/70x14.
According to tiresize.com, there is no such tire (anymore? Maybe there was at one time)
Also, a 265 is pretty wide for a 5.5" rim. (Biggest, widest 14" tire, short of a drag radial, of which I can find a total of TWO, in 14", would be a 245/60x14).

The rims on the car are 14”x7” I believe.

I will be at the shop Monday to check.

Anyway, I ordered 295/50/15 for the rear and 215/70/15 for the front.

I could only find 275s in 60 or 70 spec for standard Street radials. These are 275 50 15 ET drags, not good in moisture

The slots look great! I just bought this pair of polished 15x10 slots for my 71 Charger R/T.

I’m looking for EXACTLY the look! What is the backspacing? What did you pay? And where did you score these.

I bought the 15x10 slots from a fellow Fbbo member on here. They have 3 inch back spacing.

Those slots completely changed the look of your car. They look great! I have them on my van.
