Bronze 69 tires
235/70 rear<br/>235/60 front
Love the color and look of your ride. I have a 72 BB Coupe that has run 225/70 x 15 on 8.5 Appliance wheels for more than 25 years. She needs new tires and 15s are getting harder to find. I want US made tires and just wonder how is your front tire to fender clearance. Your not much wider and probably close to the same sidewall or a bit shorter. I just DO NOT want the have the tire hit the fender.
Thanks
Joel

[QUOTE=rcread;1591955065]Halibrand 15x8.5. 255/60R15 on rear, 235 on front.
Looks Great!
Your Halibrands look close to my Appliance 15 x 8.5" and I am assuming close to zero offset (4-4.25" back spacing). ANY rubbing issues??
Thanks

[QUOTE=73C34me;1593325943]3-3/4" I believe. What size tires are you running on the front and back? I'm putting 15" X 8.5" x 3.5" backspacing Vector wheels on mine and trying to figure out what size tires to run, especially since the wheels stick-out past the fenders just a little bit.

I will check and post up later. I have to add- My rear fender lip was modified to add 1-1/4" width at the top, so it covers more of the tire than a stock fender lip will.
