Just wondering if anyone out there is running the wheel vintiques 15x8 magnums with 275/60 15's on a 1966 or 1967 plymouth b body?Id like to order some but would feel better if I knew that they will fit without rubbing or cutting anything,thanks!

I've seen 15x7 cop wheels fit on a 67 GTX, but the tires were smaller than 275's. Not sure the 8's would fit.

I have 15x8 with 4.5" backspace and 275/60's on the back of my 67' R/T. Backspace is Key! Oops! Not Magnums, sorry.

You have them on there, but how do they fit? do they rub at all? did you roll the lips?

Yes, lips are rolled in. They were when I got the car. I'm happy I went with that size more rubber for better footprint. No rubbing that I can see or hear.

Im not willing to roll the wheel lip,Ive had 275's on the car before on a stock 15x7 steel wheel but it was too wide a tire for a 7in wide wheel.

If you lived closer, we could mount them under your car to try them out. But I think that the two had the same rear wheel house space.

I'm North of Everett.

I did some research online before I made the decision to go with 15x8. I can't remember what site it was on and don't know if they all rolled the lips in, I will try to find it.

I had a 275-60x15 tire on a OEM 15x7 steelie with 4.25 backspace. Car is a '67 Belvedere. The fender lips were rolled up when I bought the car. Still the fit was close. When installing, the car had to be jacked up so the rear axle hung down to give enough opening to get the tire in the wheelwell, it was a real pain.
I took them off, not because they were too big for the car, but because the 275 tire is really too big for a 7" wide rim. I mounted the tire on a 8" Rallye but never tried to fit it on the Belvedere. The 275 tire on a 8" rim may have squeezed in there but what I'm going to put back on it is a 255 on the same 7" rim.

Here's the tires on the Belvedere before removal. Front tires are 245-60.

After taking them off, this is what I put them on. An Aspen has plenty of room for a 275-60x15 in a 15x8" wheel on the rear and 245-60x15 on 15x7" on the front.

I know my 65 wagon isnt exactly what you are inquiring about,but for what its worth,my wagon is running 275/60/15 tires on the rear with Mopar cop car wheels and they fit VERY well. The only trouble I have is the need to jack the rear of the car up high to get the wheel tire/combo on and off.Otherwise no rubbing,no nothin,clean install.

That's a 27/9/15 slick on an 8" ramcharger rim in my sig. It's almost identical size to the 295/50/15's that I run on the same rim on the stret. My car came with the lips rolled but then that is a bit wider tire.
