Re: {Chrysler 300} Tire sizes

[Nick Taylor <nicksgaragesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using 235/70R-15s on my 1960 Chrysler wagon. I should measure them and compare with the 14s on my 300F but there is still a lot of room around them. I got 235/75R-15s for my '60 Imperial and they look very tall but appropriate.

Unfortunately you can only get smallish 14" tires for most cars and they look just too small.

As far as 15 inch radials in a 75 aspect ratio, you can go to P235/75R15.

The overall diameter will likely be close to the original 7.60-15 bias ply Bluestreaks but much wider tread width (assuming you have a J).

The speedometer should register very close if not dead on accurate.

 

If you have a Sport, the original wheels were 14”,  but 15” wheels work fine and look better on a ’63-’64 imho.

A 235/75R15 might have a slightly larger diameter than the original 8.00-14 bias ply tires.

Speedometer might be off just a hair.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Tire sizes

 

 

I have an all original 63,300. Current tires are 205 75/15. Can’t find a lot of info on tire size options. Anyone know the max tire size for an all stock original? Any reason not to go bigger? Thanks
