Hey Guys,
I have a wheel and tire dilemma for my 71 Challenger Convertible. I purchased my Gragar wheels a couple of years ago but as we all know job and family take priority. Anyway I’m finally putting the car back together and I’m ready to purchase my tires for the Cragars. My intention was to get 245 60 15’s for the front and 255 60 15’s for the back. The front wheels are 15X7 with a 4.25” offset and the rear are 15X8 with a 4.5” offset. Well the beaters that I have on the car are 235 15 60 with a 4.25” offset. They were mostly on dolly’s so I never really inspected them much.
Well I just looked and the tires are hitting my drivers brake line (see pic). The passenger side doesn’t hit.
• Here is my question. Is there another brake line that I can install where it doesn’t hit the wheel and routes differently?
• I really wanted to put 245 60 15’s on there and I heard many of you have used them. Am I stuck with using 235 60 15’s?
• I feel like I’m missing something since so many have used 245 60 15’s. Am I missing something?
I’ve included pics of the beater wheel hitting the brake line. I’ve included pics of the new wheel with the specs and I’ve included pics of the back of the current wheel which I think is from a later model Mopar.
If you have a different brake line please let me know the part number. Thanks
Dave
