Take a look through the sticky note at the top of the page about what tires will fit on a 1966 car: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=397313 even though it starts off talking about 1966, if I recall correctly there were some sidetracks into earlier cars.

1961-1962 cars have unusually tight fender wells, what may work on later cars won't necessarily fit on them.

A set of 8.20x15 Atlas Bucron tires would do nicely and are pretty sticky.
Oooooops! They quit making them in the mid 60s. https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MUEXGngR6...00/207azk9.jpg

I had 9x29R15 Hoosier's mounted on 15x7. Sorry I don't remember the wheel spacing dimensions. I did have to roll the fender lip. You can get the tires section width online and there are online sites that tell how to figure backspacing needed. If using a steel wheel no problem to customize it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
