Will it fit?
« on: May 03, 2016 - 12:08:01 PM »
I'll pick up my Vintage Vintiques Chrysler Rally wheels tomorrow so I thought i should get some tires on 'em as well 😉

Front wheels are 15x7 with 4.250 backspacing and in the rear 15x8 with 4.500 backspacing.
Will 245/60/15 (or is 235 better?) in the front and 275/60/15 in the back fit my 72 Challenger without any modifications (or clearance issues)?

Since BF Goodrich are just too darn expensive over here, I though I'd go for Cooper Cobras instead.

Any input appreciated!

Thanks!

275 60 is the normal tire it seems should fit with no issues
 Cooper are a better tire anyway so you made a good choice !

Thanks Chryco!
Any opinion on 245 vs 235's up front in terms of looks? 😉
