Kelsey Tire in MO is the manufacturer for Goodyear reproductions. There are a few posts on Moparts with vendors other than Kelsey. 1970 & '71 HEMI'Cudas had F60-15 POLYGLAS GTs on all 4 corners (most had their front fenders factory modified for added clearance) Any other 'Cuda with 15" tires had E60-15s on the front. The tread width on the F60-15 VS. the E60-15 causes the clearance concern. Many have run F60-15s with STOCK fenders without any issues.

I'm planning on running G60's all around on my AAR.

That was on the original concept drawing board w/rolled "TRANS AM" fenders!

Oooooh! That's NICE! LOVE the color combo & elastomeric on the front in black! Are those G60's F&R? Also, what engine?
That was my old Cuda, now owned by another member and all around great guy Glenn. It has F 60-15 front and L 60-15 rear. 15x7 and 15x8 in that picture. I added the bumper, it's a factory TX9 w/T5 interior 440+6 4 speed Super Track Pack car. About 70% original paint and all matching #'s. One of the tightest E-Bodies I've ever been in. Ron

I have the same wheel size and will go with the sizes you noted. Thanks!

Mopar wizard,
Hey, the cuda looks good with the G-60's. Are you running G-60's on the front too? And if so, any rubbing / fitment issues, and are your fenders curled?
Also, what size rims front and rear, and backspace?
Does anyone know if F-60s and G-60's will fit on 15 x 8 rims?

Interesting on the suspension bumper. Didn't know that. Is that available aftermarket? So that means the height of the tire is the problem, not so much the width I assume. My car will have both heavy duty torsion bars and anti sway bars so I'm thinking that may limit the wheel travel quite a bit.
Yes, the G-60's would fit the wheels that came on the car, but 15 x 8 was not a wheel size option, at least to my knowledge.
