Wheel & Tire Sizing '63 Plymouth

[Ron H]

Anyone running 17" wheels on their 62-65 b-body? If so, what tire sizing? I have 15" steel Magnums with P235/60's on it. Seems there might be ample clearance for the larger wheel, perhaps a slightly lower profile tire considering the 17" and wider tire in the rear. Also thinking of the aluminum Magnum with this change out.
Appreciate any information, thanks much.

Re-posting in case anyone has done something similar on their early B.
I've about set myself to order aluminum Magnums, 17" x 7" with Diamondback tires - p235/50's. The tire height only changes the OD .3 " from the tires/wheels I have on it. The other change is a 4" back space wheel. There is a 2-inch clearance from the quarter lip with what's on it so figure that should be fine. Talked to a guy having 17's on his 65 Coronet with the 45 tire, so I'm looking at 50's given such minimal OD difference.
