Re: Question RE: rear tire clearances

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depending on backspace, some other tire sizes to consider include 215 x 70, 225 x 70, 235 x 70 (seems popular), and 255 x 70. These sizes are for 15 inch rims. There are some links to backspace calculators on the tech page: http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/techstuff.html

Thanks,
Gary H.
