What is the tire size coversion for......

[TruckDriver]

LR50_15 tires? I found a nice pair of 10x15 Western alunimum slotted mags for $25.00 at a rummage sale today. They just need a good buffing out to shine nice. They had 2 different sized tires on them, both 50s, but the taller one was the "LR" tire. I'd like to match that size for the rear of my Charger.

Well I found this : http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:T_w9w3P7IfcJ:listboy.freewebsitehosting.com/technical_data/tyre_sizes_pre-metric.PDF+LR50+15+tire&hl=nl

LR50            Section width  11.65                Overall diameter  26.76

Hope this helps

Wow Doc74! I google'd for awhile yesterday and couldn't find it. 

Those numbers would match up pretty close with 295/50/15.

Kinda, but I was hoping for the metric numbers, like (P275-50-R15). I think that number has to be close?

Cool!, That's what I needed! Thanks!!

on a 3rd gen the 275 60 15 may be a better fit & will be a bit closer to the 27 " height

Thanks Neil. The height is what I really want, but yet keeping the tire width close to a 50 series. I like the fat sidewall look on older cars.
