I've had a few combos on my Satellite over the years. With stock wheel-wells, my advice is the following: Front: 215-70's on 15x7's Rear: 255-60's on 15x8's with 4-3/4 or 4-1/2 back spacing. This will be tight, but will fit and fill the well. Slicks: you can fit 28x9's on the same rims in there.

I had big/little on my '67 Belvedere II '69 4.10 Dana (5/8" wider than '67) Late '70s OEM steel wheels, 15x7" wheels, 4.25" backspace, rear 275-60, front 245-60
After I installed and ran them, I didn't like my choice for the rear for 2 reasons 1- Because of the '69 Dana, the rears were real tight, I had to deflate the tires and let the axle hang to get it in/out of the wheelwell 2- 275-60 will fit on a 7" wide wheel, it would even go on a 6", what it should go on is an 8" wheel, the recommended max for 7" is 255-60
My new setup will be, -original '67 Dana going back in after replacing the original 4.88 with a thin 4.10 -rear tires will be 255-70 on the same 7" steels -fronts will be 215-75 on 15x5.5" steels (from '82 D100) or 205-75 on 5" Am Racing TT Originals

Thanks everyone , your pics and comments are all appreciated, Looks like I will go with 60 series instead of the 70's. I don't believe Coker has Redlines in 60 series radials. Guess I will go with TA's. I appreciate all the input and especially the pic's.
Thanks Bob If Coker doesn't have the side you're looking for, try contacting Diamond Back Classic Radials.

Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
