Let's see your RWL tires (sizes would be nice too)

[bull]

I'd like to see what some of you are running for raised white letter tires. There will probably be a lot of BFGT/As and that's ok but I'd just like to see how they look on different cars and also what size they are.

[Ghoste]

Eagle ST's.

[69bronzeT5]

the front tires are off a '70 GSX.

[Nacho-RT74]

 

will be great also see them posting sizes and specs of tires

( not to highjack, more to share the purpouse )

My '69.


Left side: P225/75 R14 (original steel belted tire off it)
Right side: P275/60S R15 (BF Goodrich T/As off a '70 GSX)
Back: Cant tell the size at the moment..too dark to see. (Vintage Firestones off a '67-'68 Mustang used in a movie..not sure which movie)

[Dennis]

Couldn't get Eagle ST's anymore.  Went with Dunlop Qualifier GT RWL's. 

[Charger1973]

These are 235/70 R15s. 

[chargerrt]

295/50-15 rears
245/60-15 fronts

Thanks for saying that because I meant to include that request.

[bull]

295/50-15 rears
245/60-15 fronts

Do you have 15x10 wheels in the back?

[69 OUR/TEA]

   rear 275/60 on 15x8
   front 215/70 on 15x7

[chargerrt]

295/50-15 rears
245/60-15 fronts

Do you have 15x10 wheels in the back?

Nope, they are 15x8.5 in the rear and 15x7 up front

[bull]

Hmm. Do you think 295s would work on an 8-inch rim?

[69 OUR/TEA]

 215/70 all around on 15x7.These Firestone 215's run about 3/4" taller than BFG's 215's

[chargerrt]

Hmm. Do you think 295s would work on an 8-inch rim?

If you look around (probably of BFG's website) the company will tell you recommended rim sizes for the tires.  If 295's won't work 275's might and I think they are actually the same width.....Lemme get back to you on that

[chargerrt]

295/50s can go on 8-10 inch wheels and have 11 inches of tread

275/60s can go on 7.5-9.5 inch wheels and also have 11 inches of tread

The 275 might be a more logical choice for the 8" wheels because the 295s might look a little like a bubble, but it might not look much different from mine   

[89MOPAR]

Hmm. Do you think 295s would work on an 8-inch rim?

The rear tires on the picture in my signature are 295/ 50/ 15's  on the car's factory 15x8" rims.   They fit and look good, but with the flares it has more room than most cars in the wheelwells.

You're right. The tread width is said to be the same: http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/specs/radial-t-a/12.html However, one other difference is the overall diameter. The 275/60s (being a 60-series instead of a 50-series) are bigger around by 1.3" so you'd almost think there would be as much or more of an issue with clearance.

[1969chargerrtse]

215/70 all around on 15x7.These Firestone 215's run about 3/4" taller than BFG's 215's

Wow Paul, your car is coming along fantastic, looks great.

[1969chargerrtse]

 I get my chops broken all day long with these weird looking " Eldorado  Legend GT " funky cheap looking tires.  They are on my long list of things to replace.  Probably going Red walls.

[bull]

But do you like them? What size are they?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Had these BFG's on before I got my redlines...

255/60/15 all around....

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Then waaaay before that I had rally's on there as well with the same tires 

[472 R/T SE]

chargerrt, that's the exact look I'm after.  Do you know what the backspacing is on your rears?  My new 8.5's are 3.5" backspacing and I'm worried there won't be enough room.  My current wheels are 8" but 4.5" b.s.

[Goldfinger71]

...Ugh ,I have 275-60-15-BF Goodrich WL tires on my 15x10 Cragar wheels with no problem,am I missing something?I don't like 50 series tires becuase in my opinion they are not tall enough.I couldn't think of a 60 series tire that would fit a 15x 10...

[68charger383]

225/60/15 on 15x7s

Well, the rims were on the car when I got it, so I can't be 100 % positive.  Whenever I go home for a weekend (maybe sometime this month) I'll be happy to take one off, measure the backspacing, and PM you with the size 

In the meantime, here's another picture 

[Paul G]

Front - 245/60-15 on 8" wheels
Rear - 295/50-15 on 10" wheels

[Charger-Bodie]

heres mine Bull! by the way they are  f 60 15

[1969chargerrtse]

But do you like them? What size are they?

Well, they roll real nice.  They are 15" 60 series.  Brand new, came with car, but are going bye, bye. 

[bull]

heres mine Bull! by the way they are  f 60 15

Those look pretty good. I'd rather have round tires than oval ones though.

[cudacharger]

Here's One bull...I sent you an e-mail awhile back on the sizes I believe.

[Brock Samson]

the obligitory RWL tire Pics... 

[1FastCharger]

I'd like to see one with those cartoonish NASCAR tires. The ones with letters from the rim to the road. It might look cool.

[Brock Samson]

might?..

[charger_mike75]

mine has Defender srx 235/70/15 up front and kelly charger 275/60/15 on the rear. white letters are on the backside.

Thanks Tan top,  only took me 12 years to get this far, I like to drive it too much to tear it all down   

[bull]

Here's One bull...I sent you an e-mail awhile back on the sizes I believe.

I seriously doubt I could find that email and I know I don't remember what you told me. However, it looks to me like you've got 275/60-15s on the back. Am I right?

[4forty]

15x10  /295-15s

[bull]

15x10  /295-15s

I'd like to run the same thing as you but I guess we'll never see 295s in the BFG T/As again.

[4forty]

   There on the website.

[bull]

   There on the website.

I know, I saw that too. But when you call one of the stores that carry them they say they are on backorder and have been for a long time. The place I called said there were only three 295/50-15 tires in the nation at their stores which included America's Tire and Discount Tire at least.

[4forty]

wow, that sucks....I got mine about 2 years ago, great tire, I guess they are getting rare! probaly devoting factory space for 20"s & 22" gangsta dougnuts

[bull]

I just called BFG corporate to ask them what was up and they said the next scheduled production date on the 295/50-15s will be June 2008. So if and hopefully when they start making them again they'll have to fill all the backorders first and then possibly restock the shelves. Of course the guy on the phone couldn't tell me if they really are going to start making them again (he's just reading off a computer screen) so we'll have to wait until June to know for sure I guess.

My show tires. I have another set of Radial T/As and Rallye wheels for the street.

That looks nice 

[daytonakid]

On my Superbird clone I have 275/50/15 on the front and 295/50/15 on the rear. I even lowered the front of the car a bit looks mean. My 69 Charger R/T has 265/50/15 on the front and 295/50/15 on the rear no issues with it either. But they have discontiunued the 265 and 275 50 15s. Going with 245/60/15 front and 295/50/15 on the rear on my 2nd 69 Charger R/T. These are all mounted on speciality wheels 15X8 magnum 500's.

[70_charger]

Ouch those two cars are SICK !!!!!!! For any one that didnt know the little tire spec. this is how it works!!!!! 295/50/15 first number is width in metric 295 Diveded by 25.4 you get 11.614173" inches,second number is side wall height so its 50% of your width = a 5.50" tall side wall and last one is inside tire dia.

[69bronzeT5]

Finally got my back tire sizes. They are vintage Firestones. They say "N50-15"

[TUFCAT]

These tires are FLINTSTONE size!  If they're not all dry-rotted and worn out .... they might be worth selling? 

[Goldfinger71]

Front- (1) 15x6 NOS Gold Cragar S/S+ (1)Regular Chrome 15x6 Cragar S/S(need to find anothe Gold one. ) RWL BFG 215-70-15
Rear (2) 15x10 NOS Gold Cragar S/S wheels on BFG 275-60-15 (getting the RWL this weekend.)
I wanted the "Day Two"/"Old School" look:

[richRTSE]

Here's mine. 275/60-15 rears on 15x8 rims, and 225/70-15 fronts on 15x7 rims. Both sizes are about 28" tall. Hopefully this year I'll be changing the rims to chrome Magnums (sorry, I don't like the trim rings), just not sure if I want to go with a set of redlines or keep the RWLs.

[70sixpkrt]

richRTSE if you decide to get rid of those draglites, let me know. I am looking for a set.

[68RT4ME]

 15x7 255/60-15's front  15x8 275/60-15's back BFG's. I have a like new set of 295/50-15's mounted on 15x10 rallies that came on the car when I bought it. Took them off cause I hated the look. I was going to get rid of them but with all this going on, I'm guessing I should be holding on to them, maybe put them on the '69 when it's done. I like the foot print I have now with this setup.

[BlueSS454]
