Its time for me to put tires on my 71 Satellite. I have bought a set of 15X8's for the rear and 15X7's for the front. I can't decide if I want to do the 50 or 60 series. Show me some pictures and descriptions.

15X7's with 235X60X15 on the front and 245X60X15 on the rear. Still too small. I would go 245X60X15 on the front and 275X60X15 on the rear if you have 15X8's on the rear. I like the 60 series because I think these era cars need a bit of a sidewall to look right.

Not a great angle, but here's 235's and 275's.

Thanks, I was worried that the front may look too narrow, but with the 8" rim, I think they look good.

235/60/15 on the front of mine and 275/60/15 on the back. Backs are too narrow for me and next time will be 325/50/15, but my back end does sit high up compared to stock. I've got 15x7's all around, but rears will be 15x10 when it comes down to it.

It's not a 71 runner, but a 66 Charger.
most of the B body's can fit the same tire.

15X8 Weld's with BF Goodrich 295/50R 15's fit just
fine.
15X4 Weld's up front with a 26 X 5.5 wide tire.
