E-Body Tire Combos

Thanks MM!! Backing up, in a tight turn, does your tread scrape the front lower edge of the fender/ trim? Mine did, long ago, old tires, dont remember the size.....lol

ERAT340 -- no rubbing on the front edges of the fenders, nor upper lips (rolled lips and slightly pulled... but again, I've got a stiff suspension, so, hardly any dipping at all.... even considering that my car is lowered f/r.

My fenders are slightly modified to accommodate 16x10 rims (5" back spacing... pushing the tires out towards the fenders ~1/2" from a stock dimension setup) with 275-45-16 DOT Hoosiers A6 race autocross tires.... no rubbing and just enough clearance.

If you'd use correct offset/backspacing, then the 255-60-15 will work without any problems, nor any need to modify the fender (again, tucking the lips for additional insurance would be the most needed to do).   

One thing, perhaps with most wider tires, or taller tires, too, is the front rear inside will rub slightly against the frame rail when turned to a lock... no big deal.. just a bit of rub.

My '70 Cuda finally got her new set of shoes.  Hankook Ventus V12 245/45/18 and 275/40/18 with US Mag U111 Rambler textured gunmetal grey 18x8 and 18x9.5.  Stock spring location gives abut 3/4" room, fits inside the rear quarters with no rolled lips.  Fronts also fit perfect, no rolled lips, not rubbing on frame.  I will say if you have soft shocks you may hit your fender on a hard bump or pothole while on a hard turn.  I have Hotchkis Fox adjustable shocks and do not hit at all.

Thanks guys.  BS on 18x8 is 4.5" and 18x9.5 are 5.25".  http://us-mags.com/rambler-u111-w-6133.htm

I did install Hotchkis 1.10" t-bars, front and rear sway bars, the fox shocks and Moog offset bushings.  It handles SO much better now.

What tire combo would I need for 15x10 rear and 14x7 front wheels. I have a Narrowed rear end and air shocks. Just need to know what would look good. Thanks!

We really need more information about your car and wheels. What are the dimensions of the rear end (how much was it narrowed)? Are the springs relocated to the frame rails? Has the car been mini-tubbed? What is the backspacing measurement on the wheels?

Without that info there's really no way to figure out what will actually fit on your car.
