235/70 tire

[moparstud440]

Anyone have any pics of a 235/70 tire on their car? Curious how it looks compared to the 275/60. Pretty much the same tire diameter, but not as wide so would have more clearance to the leaf spring.

I was looking for the same thing I was scrolling thru trying to find some pics. I have a set of 235 75 15 that I'm gonna run just because I have a new set but when they are gone I was thinking about either 235 70s or 235 60s but with my low gears the 75s may be my best bet

Car is a 69 barracuda, but I ended up buying the 275/60's. Just had to add a 1/4 spacer to get 1/2" of space between tire and leaf spring.

How do they fit?

Looks really good does that 273 break those 225s over pretty easy or do they stick pretty good?

LOL I don't side step the clutch very often. 3:23 gear and tall 15's. No tire burning but it does get 19 mpg on the highway. LOL

They fit everywhere fine. I did have to add a 1/4" spacer as they were close to the leaf springs, with the 1/4" spacer I have 1/2-9/16" space now. I need to lower the rear about an inch so once I do that I'll post some pics.

I bet it would smoke if you wanted to lol!!!
I wonder if the 235 would be enough tire behind my 360? I found this only pretty cool little tool. With those tires sizes I picked out I will have a little over 3 inch rake! I like that look.
