My buddy Jim is building a 67 Monaco with cop car 15" rims, will 235 60 15 Cooper Cobras fit front and back? Or will he need smaller tires on front for clearance. Thanks

the big 15" tire that was available on a '67 Polara was 8.45x15" (8.45" section width)
roughly equivalent to a metric 215/78/15, in a perfect world would be 28.1" diameter
&
the smallest 14" tire that was available on a '67 Polara was 8.25x14" (8.25" section width)
roughly equivalent to a metric 205/78/14, in a perfect world would be 26.6" diameter

23570R15 ON 15X7 MAGNUM 500'S. Lots of room in the rear even with fender skirts. Backspacing on cop rims no different than Magnum 500's and seen plenty of slab C's run them. He can run 25560R15 and still clear,IMHO

If I remember correctly, 23560R15 Goodyears was OEM on the Local Highway Patrol cars back in the day. My buddy Jim is building a 67 Monaco with cop car 15" rims, will 235 60 15 Cooper Cobras fit front and back? Or will he need smaller tires on front for clearance. Thanks
