And two 15x7 4.25 back spacing powder coated black steel rims. the 15x8 will go on rear. I will be buying Cooper Cobras. Would like a wider look in the back. Suspension is stock on my RR. Any suggestion would be great help. Thanks Tom C.

Same wheel sizing as yours. Those are Magnum 500's in a 15 inch? Where did you get them? Thanks.

A 70 series front will produce a car that sits more level. Different strokes and all...

The rims don't match because I was shopping for new tires and rims and a friend let me try 1 of his new tire and rear rim combo that he had for his car that wasn't done yet. He laughed when I asked if I could borrow both brand new sticker tires to see how much traction I get with them and said he no. Car with the wheels I decided on.

It really shows how much taller a 275 tire is than a 235. They are tall to shortest 275/60/15, 225/70/15 and the Goodyear (F/60/15) is 235/60/15. Hope this helps Mike

I had 275-60-15 on Rear and 235-60-15 on front . B-Body DODGE Rear Wheel wells are HUGE . I needed a TALLER Tire to fill Wheel well , especially viewed from the side , so I installed 255-70-15 and love how they fit + Look vs the 275-60-15s . I still have the 60s on the Front , But going with 235-70-15 this Spring . The 60s are too short for My B-Body .
