Guest speedmon Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Its tough......to find wheels for these vintage cars. I have the same size wheels and run BFG 245/50s all around to keep it simple. Its fine as a road tire.......but to get some sticky tires I had to order some new wheels.....17" CCWs and man how the prices have gone up since the last time I bought. They are great wheels though: 3 piece, light and look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 just get some 225-50-15 bfg's g-force.. great tire for not much and fit nice on a 15x8+ wheel! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Those 225 won't fit on the 10" though... Sucks don't it. That why I got rid of my 15X8's I wanted to run 245's. The 265/275 for the rear should be easier, you will probably have to run a 225 up front though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguitar71 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I do not see how you are giong to fit those under the stock fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 get some Nitto 555R 275-50-15 drag radials for the rear. i have 15x11 Ronals and i was gonna get 325 rear tires but i wanted a thinner sidewall so 275's it is. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silviaguy240 Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 yea, i havent really looked for the 265-275 because i wanted a little stretch in the back to make it fit a little better. but i will go look for some 265's, the 225 for the fronts is no problem to find..just the rears, thanks for the help!
