Tire size combo

[Inspector71]

I'm going to run Magnum 500 wheels, 15x7 on my 68 Charger. I am asking for ideas about what tire sizes I should consider. I don't want to run skinny factory original sizes but don't want mombo sized ones either. I used to have fatter tires in the rear but that meant I couldn't rotate them. Any ideas will be appreciated (street driven car)

255 50 15 are a good bet all around.  May be a little large on the front, and some guys dislike them for steering, but I never noticed.  Perhaps that says something about my skill as a driver.  I think this is a good look if you want to go all the same size.

Rotate?  Nah you roast the rears every chance you get and use a ratio of 4:1 rear:front.

255's actually fit? I had 245s on the rear of my 66 Sport Fury and it was a tight fit. Am I right going with 15x7s as opposed to 14x7's?

You can squeeze a 325 on the rear, for front up to 245 comfortably but there's a few around here running 255.

245/60's up front & 275/60's rear looks decent, I have wider wheels & like the 295/50 rears plenty of room...

255/60/15 on all 4 corners with the steelies (15x7's)



245/60/15 fronts & 295/50/15 rears on 15x8 rims with the Cragars....

The 255s may rub on the grease valve up front when on a lift, but with full weight on the suspension you'll be fine.

I like your thinking

  255 /60/ 15  tires on all four corners  with 15 x 8 steel wheels  & 4inch back space ,  for me  wanted the deepest dish look with all four wheels being the same & no rubbing

Whatever size you select, get the proper backspacing.

Otherwise, I'll welcome you as the newest resident to my own hell...
