wkroncke17 OP master Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 2,808 Wisconsin	Wondering what size tire to order for the 69 Coronet Im getting soon. It has some old junk bias ply tires right now,and I want to get some BF Goodrich Radial T/A's? I want to fill out the wheel well a little more than the stock size tire,but I don't want to over-tire it. Does Goodyear make the Eagle ST anymore? Thanks guys!!

BobN member B Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 137 Kenosha, WI wi/il border	what size rim and offset for the 275/60 15 do you use on the green GTX? i have 68 Cronoet and I just bought set of 275/60 15 rear tires off somoeone so now I have to order large 15 steelies to fit them. do i assume a 15 x8 rim with a 4.5 offset will be fine to fit the well of my coronet without rubbing? thanks!

That's right. I went to 235/70R15 rather than 225/70R15 on the front because they are the same diameter (28") as the 275/60R15's on the rear. That way I only need one spare tire - good when you have posi-traction on the rear.

What kinda tires are those and what size rim with off set?? THe suspension appears to be above the tires, how is it done, SS springs? Air shocks? Careful, your character's showing!

Rear springs are station wagon 6 leaf with the hanger fliped and poly bushings in the eye and HD shackles with poly in them too . Tires are Toyo Proxies ST in rear and Toyo TPT in front . Car tracks real nice and corners suprizingly well Too . .96 T bars in front and sway bars front and rear . Car is firm but rides very well . 4657695-S6300084-2.JPG (297 downloads)
