This is what I have mounted on mine. No problems what so ever. 15x8's btw.

 

[69bbeep]

dobie, is that another 68 bird in your garage Are you holding out on us?

 

[dobie]

No, that was our 68 Satellite 4 door. 273/3 on the tree. We drove it home from Carlisle in 2007. Almost all original. The (ex) wifey now has it sitting in her garage.


:cheers:

That what I have on my GTX 275/60r15 on 8" rims and I would recommend that combo and no larger, had 295/50 on 15 x 8's expensive mistake. I don't have any good photos to post.

 

[Big John]

Yep, 275/60-15 on mine too.

What offset wheels are you guys running?

Are those Firehawks?

 

[Plymouthfan]

Ditto.. 275's on mine... I have 15x8's 4.5" back spacing I believe.

 

[mac]

same as everyone else, 275/60-15

 

[Basketcase]

same here, 27560R15 on 15X8 magnums. not sure of the backspace. I was running the same wheels/tires before we beefed my springs up. never has any rubbing.

 

[mcmopar]

same here on tire size with 15x8 Magnum 500's utilizing stock backspacing.

 

[wannarunner]

I have run in the past a 295/50r15 on a 15x10 with a 5.5 backspace with the outside edge of the quarter rolled slightly. I have also run a 28x10.5 m/t slick and a 275/60r15 on a 15x8 with a 4.5 backspace with no mods to the car. The 275 is a great fit and doesnt rub at all even if the car is real low. Way back when I put a 325/50/15 bias ply pro-trac on a 15x10 rim with 5.5 backspace and it fit but rubbed quite a bit but it looked bitchin. Good luck and I love the pics of the cars. You guys have some great cars.
