Re: Front tires

[furyus63@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Mo,

 

You say you are looking for a smaller diameter tire for clearance. Looking at my tire chart for tire diameters;

 

225/75R-15   28.3" dia.

215/75R-15   27.7" dia.

205/75R-15   27.1" dia.

 

Some of my charts say there can be as much as .2" variation depending on mfg. of the tire, wheel width, and tire pressure.

Right now I'm running the 215/75R-15 Cooper Trendsetter SE up front with 285/70R-15 BFG TA in back.

I ran this size on the front of both my 63' Plymouths with no rub issues. I don't think the fender openings are that much different.

 

Nick

Subject: Front tires

I have searched the web till I am dizzy. Maybe you can give me a short-cut.

   1964 Dodge B body. 15 X 6" rim - zero offset. Tire size on it now  225 - 75R - 15

Problem: the front of the tire rubs the lower fender well front edge at the bottom.. 

  I need a smaller diameter and maybe a little narrower tread & section width. 

 It must be blackwall ( No raised white lettering ) and as plain and smooth on at least one sidewall 

as I can get. Easier cleaning and I like that look.  Brand not important and not high priced. 

 What are you useing that may work for me?  Thanks for any input.......................MO
