Default P235/70R15

I am going to use a set of rally 2 15x7 with 4 3/8 back spacing. I plan on using P235/70R15BFG redlines. With this combo work all the way around? The car is a 66 Tempest.

Thanks Shawn

Most likely not, a 235 70 15 is 28" and too tall of a tire IMO.

The deal is I will be ordering online And i don't want to screw it up! My old tires were245/60r14. I want a similar width and maybe a shade larger in diameter without issues in a 15" tire.

Thanks Shawn

If you are going with the BFG's, I would go 235/60/R15. They are plenty wide and I have them on my Lemans.

If you want them all the same go with the 235/60/15. That's as big as will fit on the front with that wheel. If you want to go bigger in the back get a 255/60/15.

Thanks everyone!

Don't know why I am having a hard time choosing a tire! One minute I am thinking redline tires the next white walls then raised white letters.

215/70-14's are 25.8 inches tall
235/60-14's are 25.1 inches tall

For the big and little's look you can't go shorter IMHO. even if you go with 245/60-14's they are 25.6 inches tall
