Going to buy a set of 15x7 rallys for my 70 RR. Plan to go with just some Radial TA's for now. Whats a good size?

225/60-15's on 15 X 7 on the front.
255/60-15's on 15 X 8.5's on the rear.
The rear is close but still has room with original sheet metal but 275/60-15's on the 8.5" rim will rub for sure on my GTX
BEAUTIFUL CAR!!
Thanks and quick OT it's a complete number matching with 94,000 original miles, LA plant built, sold to someone in the LA area and then ended up in your State for the rest of its life with the second owner.....I'm the third owner. A 4-spd console, 3.54 Dana, power steering, power discs, tach, 8-Track, tinted windows. Because it was a SW car most of it's life it has all of its original sheetmetal and NO RUST ANYWHERE
Now back to tires

One vote more for 255/60-15s are the best match for them. Maybe 245/60-15 too

I ran 275/60R-15 BF Goodrich radial TA's on my 69 RR for many years. It's the biggest I'd go and they worked great for what they are. Meaning, TA's are a budget street tire that is too hard for any good track times but great for a street machine cruiser. Went one size bigger to the old Mickey Thompson "Letter I" bias ply's that were L60-15's and they didn't want to sit flat on the pavement unless I went way down in tire pressure (like 20 psi). Personally, the bigger the tire in the back, the better your B-body will look!
