Learnin my A B C 's tire size

got the "A" bodys and "B" body tire sizes figured out.

My Friend in Florida gots "Spring Fever" wants to cruise...
wants me to help get the fresh eng /trans combo fired up
and asked about a gear and larger tires.

Want to take a few tire sizes and rims to test fit.
>> 235 ---- 275 x 60 - 15.

problem> Wants to keep the skirts, so do I...
What say ye,
What style wheel would look nice,
Can't run the hubcaps, > looses them > spinning tires....lol

Thanks

what about the c-body ralleys?

Here is my $0.02. If you are going to use the same wheels (that means the backspacing won't change), here is what I would do. Accurately measure the clearance you have on both sides of the tire. Let's say you have 1.25" between the tire and the rear quarter panel lip and 1.5" between the inside of the tire and the inner wheel housing (or springs, or whatever the tightest clearance is). Write down the smaller number, in this case 1.25". Decide on how much clearance you want. Let's go with 0.25". Subtract that from the 1.25" number leaving 1.0". That means you can get a tire with a cross section 2" wider than the current tire. I say 2" because half of the extra cross section would be on the inside and half on the outside. And with 25.4mm per inch, that means you can get a tire with a cross section that is 50.8mm greater than the current tire. So if the current tire is, let's say, a 225-70-15, you should be able to go with a 275-70-15. If you need to consider the height change, use this formula: (change in cross section/25.4)*(Aspect ratio/100)*2. So going from a 225-70-15 to a 275-70-15 would be: (50/100)*(70/100)*2=2.76 inches taller tire. This will help to zero in on a size without a bunch of trial and error. If you change the wheels, that means the back spacing will change, and this won't work. Hope this helps.

has been a very interesting project.
arrived April 24.just got back today....order parts and wait.
since the wheels are off > check all brakes, replace all rubber hoses
one steel line (for now) pack the front wheel bearings.
while checking the fuel system, decided a new tank and sending unit was better for reliability . and new hoses for the radiator

hauled a set of 7" Rallys to test fit
275-60 -15 and 235-60-15.
Then We decided to put a set of cop wheels on.
Call my friend Todd, in Tn.
he went to my Barn, gave the set to another friend Bill, to haul down to Florida.
Then I met bill to receive the wheels.
next was to clean / paint the wheels
have them ready to mount tires the next day.
going back in June to measure for wider wheel and more back space on the rear, plus replace the power brake booster. finish the A/C system.
tune the engine.

Started raining yesterday , plus got a flat on the rear tire of the Harley yesterday,
guess that's a sign to go home, mow the yard, if I can find the house..
