215/65/15 Tires

26" is where I have seen them start hitting (from reports on here over the years).

But this isn't cut and dry. Wheel offset, ride height, wind blowing from the east or west, car's build date on a Wednesday vs. a Thursday………

Joe and Bob have identical 67 Barracudas. Joe's tire hits and Bob's tire does not.


When checking for clearance, try to simulate up or down tire motion when turning. Pull into a driveway (turning in) very slowly with a friend watching the clearance.
