I'm currently running rear P275/60R15 and front P245/60R15. My '65 has a slight flare and offset American Racing wheels to accommodate that tire size, but I'm considering going one size down on both front/rear when I replace the tires this spring. I don't have any rubbing issues, it's really just a matter of what I think looks nicer.
I was hoping someone running rear P255/60R15 and front P235/60R15 could post a few pictures so I an get an idea of what that might look like.
Here's a few of what mine looks like with the stated tire size.
I'm running 255/60R15 drag radials on 7" Rally wheels in rear, and 2250/60R15 on 6" Rallys on the front. No flares. Its tight and I had to mildly trim the inside lip in the rear for clearance.
Like others have mentioned, I think your current wheel/tire combination looks great.
Maybe it's the angle, but I do really like the Torque Thrusts picture.
Really nice car...lots of different looks. So what are you normally running now?
Thanks....these days it has the Cragar's with drag radials for the old school look and the shiny 18's/17's for the new look. Just depends on mood. Never thought I'd like the big wheels but they've grown on me..plus they sure drive nice!
The Torque Thrusts were the first thing I put on it. It's neat how something as relatively inexpensive (old wheels always sell easily) as wheels can completely change the flavor of the car.
