I am currently running 245/60/15s on the back of my 67. I am trying to figure out what size i should run on the front. Right now i have 235/60/15s on the front but they scrub when i hit bumps. So i was thinking 225/60/15s... which are a 25.60 inch tire. The 245/60/15s in the back are a 26.60 inch tire. Im thinking an inch difference between back diameter and front diameter might be to much. What do you guys think? The other option i was considering was 215/65/15s in the front which are a 26 inch diamter. That sounds right but i really wanted to go with a fatter tire than 215. Any of you who are running 245/60/15s in the back what size tire do you have in the front?

i had a set of 215-65s on a factory 7 inch wheel on my 68 on the front it looked great.. i ran a 255 on the back with a 8 inch rim. the balance looked perfect. 1 inch in height difference. the tires were t/a radials.

If it helps here's a pic of my unfinished '68 with 245/60/15's on the back and 225/60/15's on the front, 15x7 ralleys all around. I feel the fronts are a little on the small side in comparison with the rears, but overall it's not too bad. The 215/65's, at 26" instead of 25.6", would likely be the perfect height, but I wanted something a little wider. Not sure now, perhaps the 215/65's would have been a bit better.

Mike,
Thanks for the pic. My thoughts exactly as yours. I want the diameter of the 215/65 and the width of 225. Guess im going to have decide if diameter or width is more important to me in terms of looks.

Hi, If you go to my post "seatbelt missing in action HELP". I posted a pic. of my 68 that I just put front tires on yesterday, size 225/60/15, I've order the 255/60/15 for the back from summit but they won't have them until the 12th of april. I think they look pretty good, I'm happy!

After responses and pics from you guys i think i am going to go with the 225/60/15s on the front. Thanks everyone..as always this site is the best.

I have 15x7 Cragar ss rims. Running 245-60-15 on rear, 215-60-15 on front. No issues at all.

205/65/15's front & 245/60/15's rear.

Irun 235\60\15 all around on my '67. I also had a scrub issue untill I redid the upper balljoints and bushings with offset cross arm rods! Nothing scrubs now! Wheels have no offset either!BFG's by the way!

BTW, as of today, trying to find a name brand 2045/60/15 is proving very difficult. Best I can find is Cooper and Kelly. No one anywhere has BFG or Dunlop in stock. Goodyear & Firestone don't make them anymore. More than 1 person has told me this size in BFG may be dead - and the BFG Radial TA line may be moving to Coker in the not to distant future.

Just reporting what I am hearing. I wanted 4 245/60/15s for my 77.

I had a really hard time finding my 245's on the back of my '68 as well - I called just about everywhere in the province, at least all the chains, and all the local stores in several cities around that I could find. I ended up getting them off ebay, imported them from Ohio - glad I got them when I did, I probably wouldn't have been able to find them otherwise. It doesn't seem that long ago to me that these types of sizes were pretty common, I guess I'm getting old...
