1972 lemans gt tire size
 
Hello i am new to the abody deal. I like my big cars. I was wonderomg what size tires and if u have pics you guys are running. I am planning 15x7 rims in front and i was thinking 15x8 or. 15x9 in the rear. Will a 9 inch rim fit under the wheel wells or could i even go 10 inch. Thanks joe

I have 245/60/R15's on my GT-37 right now. I believe I could fit a 255/60/R15 tire on it because I still have plenty of room. They still don't have a problem lighting up.

2002Z4CCS,

What is your wheel size in the rear? I am in the process of getting tires for the rear in my 70 LeMans. Have two 15x7 that will be used in the rear, while I have two 15x6 in the front and a 15x6 salvaged rim via junkyard used as a spare (which I will use a P205 75R15). Thanks.

Those are 15X7 I believe. :)

Thank you. My '70 LeMans will have 15x6 up front (found a pair in a junkyard, where they aren't bent, but have some slight surface rust that I need to grind off & will be great). So I'll have to ask at the tire shop what size they recommend for the front with 15x6.

I have 275 60 15's on rear and 245 60 15's on the front on 15x7 rallys. I also have a pic with a 15x8 with the wrong back space. With correct backspace I know 15x8 would fit and probably 295 60 tire.
