What size rear tire can I get on a 69 roadrunner. Looks like with a 4.25 or 4.50 backspace wheel I might be able to get a 275-60-15. Just looking for guidance from some who has done this.

Thanks

My dad run's that exact tire on the back of his 69. Not sure of the back spacing, I'll try to ask him.

I'm running that size Hoosier Drag Radials on my Satellite. I'm running a 10 inch wheel but I have closer to a 5-1/2 to 6 inch backspace.... Hard to tell when it's on the on the car thought...

275 60-15's work great on Runners, Bees, and Chargers.

I run 225 70-15's in front with them. Similar height.

7 inch rim in front, 8 inch rim in back. Standard back spacing
