I have a 71 Duster, 15x7 wheels that look evenly spaced......I put 255/70/15 tires on and there are tight, actually rub a tiny bit in the front.........the car sits low, has original leaf springs.
So...I thought of making up some 1/4" spacers to put between the front spring perches and the unibody to move the axle back a hair....it might do it, but still gonna be tight front and back
These 255/70's are so tall (29") it almost looks too much.......
My other options for tires are.......
275-60-15, which are 28" tall x 10.8" wide....1" shorter and 3/4" wider....
235-70-15, which are 28" tall x 9.25" wide.....1" shorter and 3/4" narrower....
255-60-15, which are 27" tall x 10.0 wide......2" shorter and the same width.....as current
255-70-15, which are 29" tall x 10.0 wide......
255-60 might be too short.....275-60 may be too wide......235-70 will fit for sure.....
Any input ?? Thanks
