Note that his were 215/75, not 205/75; there's zero risk of rubbing under any conditions with 205/75's on stock rims. I have DB Firestone Supreme Si 205/75-15 redlines on my '67, and I'm very happy with them.

I went with Diamondback too, expensive but worth it. I got the Goldlines because I have a 1966, and that is the color for that year. Besides, gold against Milano Maroon looks great.

Mine are the BF Goodrich Radial T/A
Size 215/70 R15
Goldline

Perfect fit and no rubbing.

Welcome aboard.
The correct size for your car in a modern radial would be a 205/75/15.
Here is a link to a thread where I list all of the the white walls that I could find at this time in that size.

Those 75 series (both 205 and 215's) tires sure fill the fenders nicely. I hate empty fenderwells!
