Thinking about some 245x60 fronts and 255x60 rear tires on my stock 72
with 15x8 rims. Anyone else have this tire set up- if so- any problems with tire
rub or other issues with using this size?
Thanks CDC

I have 245 60 16s all the way around with no rubbing at all. I tried my neighbors 255 60 15s and they rubbed a little in the front. The rears were fine. These were on a set of 81 alloy rims and I don't know if the offset is any different. You should have no problem running what you want.

Sounds :cool: to me.....I went with 255x60's on all 4's on 15x8 rally wheels.
The smaller 245x60's will work better on the fronts than my setup IMO. :chevy

:yesnod: ....I forgot you '70-'72 guys have that little flare / splash guard at the back of the wheel opening. :p:

Don't have that prob. here ! :jester

My fathers 69 had 255 60 15 ball the way around and they did not hit. Only on a full lock turn and hitting a bump did it rub on mine.

:flag I have a 1972 Convertible. I recently installed P235/60/15 on the front and P255/60/15 on the rear. No problem. I had to turn the parking break clip to one side on the rear but that is not a problem either. I ran 235/60/15 all around previously. :thumbs: :cheers:
