73 tire size
Hey everyone. I just bought some 15 aluminum wheels. Basically pace car wheels for driver tires. Factory tires equal to be a 224 70 15. I’m wanting to put 235 60 15 any thoughts on the size. Btw it has gr60 15 on it now. I have og tires for judging. So that doesn’t matter. Just for daily driving car shows cars & coffee. Etc.

IMHO, 235/60s are rather "short".....kind of like wearing your little brother's pants. 255/60s came on the 78-82s, and are pretty much the same OD as the 225/70s, just wider. But some people claim rubbing issues with the 255s. 245s would give a tad more clearance, and still look pretty good.

Well I went with 245 60 15 Cooper Cobras. For the 500 miles a year I might drive it. I just couldn’t see spending a lot of money.
