Tire size recommendation
I need new tires for my 72 roadster with the rally wheels and was thinking of using BF Goodrich 255 60R15 all the way around. I currently have 235 and have no issues. Does anyone have this setup? I am concerned that 255s might rub in the front or stick out too much in the rear. Thoughts?
Thanks!

That size will be no problem in the back. You may have a bit more clearance in the front than my 69 does, but I found that even 245s lacked clearance in front. I run 255s out back and 235s in front. If you can find a tire shop that is flexible, maybe they will mount different sizes to try in front like my shop did. Then you'll know for sure before possibly buying the wrong size.
