WHEELS & TIRES

[c.moo]

I know this has been beat to death, but i want to be sure. It's a 1963 stock plymouth bev. Going to put on front 225-75-15 tires with 15x7 RIMS with back space of 4.5 and the rear 275-60-15 tires with 15x8 RIMS with 4.5 backspacing. To my understanding this will have no issues of rubbing . Right? Thanks

I was looking at the 295 15 with the 4.5 backspace on the 15x8 rims on my 64 440 but worried about the rub factor. I have seen the 275 on the rear like you are asking and seen nothing wrong

I have a similar question for my 67 GTX. Can I put 275x15R60’s on the rear of that car using my 15x7 rims? My wheel well is max 11 in.

I don't think a 275X15R60 will fit on a 67 GTX with stock rear axle. Probably a little big for a 7" rim anyway.
I believe a 255 is the largest depending on backspace of course. Even then it may rub if you tilt the car.

Ok someone posted that the 63 rearend was 1 inch shorter that would do the trick. So either the 275 with 15x8 with 4.5 backspace or cut the axle???

With a 15x8 rim with 4.5 back spacing. I would think a 11 inch rotor and caliper assembly is the biggest that can go on the back.
