Comment = You are ultimately limited by the narrow rim size and backspacing you have. Request = Take off the CAP LOCK! 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

I just put P275/60R15 (rear) and P235/60R15 (front) on a friend's '71 'Cuda convert. Personally, I think it looks too big on the rear, but he loves it! The P275/60's fill up the wheel-well. Jeff

Now which one do you think is easier to read? ============================================= 275-60R-15 will usually fit on the rear with 8" wheels with 4.5" backspace. They will be close to the wheelwell lip if the car is low and might need a little cut and/or bend where they are close. If it is higher in the rear like with SS springs then no problem. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Grandpa, you don't have to be old to have vision problems. On your key board on the lower left is the key 'Ctrl' Push that and at the same time the '+' by your number key. If too big push the 'Ctrl' key again and at the same time push the '-' by your number key. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Being an old fart is not defined by the color of your hair but rather how many places on your body it is now growing.

They are a touch big, gaurds are rolled but they just rub on the inner wheel well. 225/70r15 on front love the look of big tyres on the back. 1970 Cuda

Your 15X7's will have to be the stock offset(4.25) as well for the 275's to fit. They will rub a bit as well. if you don't want to deal with any of that go with the 255's. 1970 challenger T/A 4sp.
