My Coronet looks a bit anaemic with the 14" rally wheels, so i think i'm going to fit some weld wheels i have on the car. They are 10x15 with a 5" backspace and i'm hoping to fit 265/70/15 tyres on the back, will they fit without cutting ? Mick

I just put M/T ET Street Radials 255/60/15 tires with 15 x 8 (4.5 inch backspace) steel wheels on my daughter's 67 Coronet.
I would have to say that is as big a tire that I could safely put under there with everything being stock. 265/60/15 might barely fit but it would need to have a different backspace and probably custom wheel spacers. I was not willing to take that chance.
Right now I can barely get my index finger between the fender lip and the tire.

I agree with the above, we put a pair of 255/60/15s on my brothers 67 20 years ago. As I recall we used stock 15x6.5" steelies and things were tight. Travis..

Thanks, It's an R/T, so i dont want to cut it at all and i've already got one race car, just want to fill the wheel arches out a bit. I might try and pick some steel wheels up and fit 255's Mick
