Fender wells and tires.

Putting a 440 in a 73 Duster with Hooker super comps fender wells. Looking for a recomend on tire size. Going with slotted mags all around and the fronts will be 15X7. I know it will be tight but what can fit? was looking at some Cooper 215-60s. I have some 14X7 but it is a no go with caliper clearance. Going to be a street car. Thanks.

With a 215/60/15 on a 15x7 you’d need a minimum of 4” of backspace, and that will just barely clear. It’ll be tight.

Really you want a 15x7 with 4.25” of backspace, you can run 225/60/15’s with that so you’d have some room to spare with 215’s.
