1970 Dodge B-body - tire sizes with 15x7 wheels? - 08/11/15 10:16 PM

Hey guys, I scored a set of cop rims for my Coronet. I want fatties out back but something that will not rub up front in the turns so staggered tire sizes are OK for me if needed.

I am not looking at any tire brand in particular, but they have to work with the 15 X 7" rims with the stock offset.

It is a 318 driver, nothing fancy so it will never be used on a track, I just want more ground clearance & larger tires.

Any size recommendations for front & rear tires would be great. beer

I like 225/70/15 that you can rotate all the way around.

x2 . The only thing ya have to watch, if it matters to you, is what gear you're running. The 275 is getting towards the tall side at 28 inches, but it will look tough on there.

I agree unless you want all four corners the same size for rotation purposes. If so, then 255's all the way around.

The 275/60/15 may require an 8" rim to properly get all the tread on the road.
DAMHIK

They will fit and look OK on the 7" rim but they fit better on an 8".

235/60/15 looks perfect if you ask me. Just enough sidewall, but not too much. Very similar in size to the old F60-15. 255, 275 looks ungodly tall in comparison.
