Thanks Keith, I just wanted to know the size so I can match that up with what is available.

I still have a set of Goodyear Eagle 235/70R 15’s on the wheels, which were discontinued by Goodyear many years ago. The tires have less than 1500 miles on them and still have the color bands visible between the treads and still drive and handle wonderfully, although I’d have to think twice before driving it on very long trip. If I recall correctly, these tires were the defacto tire to install on our G/H/J’s with 15” wheels in the 1990’s and early “aughts”.

All that said, I know there’s been plenty of input from our fellow members on recent posts as to currently available tires so I’d encourage you to check that out.

Thanks Keith and George.

What tires are you using?

I am tired of chasing the hub caps. I may get a set of 15x7 something with a 4 inch backspace and call it a day as far as wheels go. The brand new 14-inch steel wheels on the car are fine, I am just not interested in restoring a set of factory hubcaps just to see them spit off.

My folks ’64 300K used to lose a cap every now and then when new as well. So, I know it is a long term issues when the cars are driven daily or with sprit.

I have 15x7” Dodge “Police Wheels” on our 300K without any issues. I did try 15x8” wheels on our ‘65 B Body and the outer perimeter would rub on the suspension in the front (no issues on rear fitment.) I don’t know if the same issue would occur on a C Body.

What is the maximum wheel (rim) width people have had on a 1963 – 1964 Body without any clearance issues?

Assume a 15 inch dia.

Thanks, James
