Tried a 15x7 on my early A today. Anybody use 15x8's without air shocks or moving the springs in? I have a pair of 15x7 rally's with a 4" offset. I used the chart on the ET Wheel site and picked out a tire that would fit. I searched a few of my shops today and found a tire the right size to use for mock up. It was a P215/70R15. With the 8.7" section width, I had 1" clearance between the tire and spring, 1 1/8" clearance between the sidewall and the wheel lip on the outside of the tire, and 2" between the front of the tire and the wheel opening. I should be able to go with a 225 or even a 235 as long as I stay below a 10" section width. I know they don't look that much bigger in the photos they look way better in person. tmm
Hey Scott are you letting Mike off a little too easy.....Remember this pix !!!Finally...............some bigger rims/tires Mike!I like the look already!
Looks mean :glasses7:
Nice info,B.D. Did you run the offset D/C perches? Have them,on my 72 Valiant. Just asking.
BD and Dartman, Those are some good sized meats! They look good!
I am looking for a 225 or a 235 to try. tmm
I love it!!! What hangers did you use? How much are the springs inboard from stock? What backset do you have on the wheels? Thanks!!!Off set hangers and rolled the wheel lip slightly moved the diff back 1'',and was able to use 15x8 rims with a 255r60 tire.
Looking good Mike.I found a P225-70-15 to try. A bigger tire but still more room. I need a 15x8 with the correct offset. LOL They look so much bigger in person. Naw These are ok.
