On a 15 x 8 Rally wheel what BFG T/A 60 series will fit? I want to go as big as possible.

Those will fit easily. I have a set of Hoosier 29.5x10x15's on my `69, with 4,5 BS. It clears the shock and the quarter lip by 3/8". Backspacing is very important, so measure carefully!

255/60/15 will fit under the rear wheelwells easily, some even suggest 275's will fit without rubbing, that's about the widest though on that rim with 4.5 BS.......KZ

Jackhammer 275/60 with 4.5BS is the max on 67/68's

So can I use a 255 in back and a 245 in front . Or is that to big to clear the front.

Jackhammer,
I'm running 275/60x15 Drag T/A's on 15x8 Weld Draglites, the only time they rub is when they are aired down while turning. Running street pressure they are fine.

Good luck,

I've heard of someone running 295/60/15 on the rear of a 67. I would think that would fit, with the only concern being the wheel well lip, and if you run air shocks to keep the body off the tire, wouldn't that work?
