67 Dart GT front Tire size opinions???

[951mopar]

I just completed a PST front end rebuild with new Wilwood front disc brakes on my 67 Dart GT. I have Weld Pro Star 15x7 4 1/2 back spacing on the rears with BFG's 245/60/15. The front I just purchased Weld Pro Stars 15x6 w/3 1/2 back spacing.

The problem I have is what size tire to mount on the front. I am looking at the 205/60/15 or the 215/65/15 also BFG's. There are a few of you out there with the 215/65/15's with similar size rims just wondering about rubbing, with the 205/60/15 the will not be any. I do not want to purchase tires twice. I have put the rims on the car and measured just looking for some opinions.

Thanks

My cousin's 69 dart has a 15×6 with 3.75" backspacing. He runs a 215/60 in the front with no problem. He has factory 10" drums on the front though. Not sure how much those wilwoods affect your offset. I believe I've read they push the wheels out so that might put you real close to where his wheel sits in the wheel well.

I've got 215/65s on the front of my 68. They fit fine with no rubbing at all.
