Re: tire advice please



Mark:

No modifications We’re needed. Although the fronts that were downsized fit easily but I have a 73 Charger front end so I can have Disk Brakes.  

The back has room between the Fenders and tires to just barely slip my hand between them for cleaning. Springs and suspension remain Super Stock with Monroe shocks for a 62 Polara.

Wheels are Torq Thrust AMERICAN RACING® - VN105D TORQ THRUST D 1PC Gray with Machined Lip (15" x 6", -2 Offset, 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern, 83.06mm Hub) front and 15” x 8” Rear.

They are about $200 plus for each pair.

Great looking Mopar 

Did you have to make any modifications to your suspension or wheel wells to fit those tires and wheels?
What brand and size are the wheels shown in the photo?

I would like to put the same set up on my 62 Sport Fury in place of the 14 inch stock wheels and hubcaps

On my 1962 Polara, to get the stance I wanted, I have 255 70/R15 in the back and 205 60/R15 in the Front.
Using BF Goodrich Radial TA.

Works well, but I need a 20 tooth Speedo Gear for the 727 Transmission for correct speed.

Bill,
If the 215s are larger diameter it will change the speedometer input, they will cost more, should stick and ride and brake better.

Hi Gary, I have looked at the Discount site. My car is a '65 Satellite. Currently has 205/75r14's. The service manual specs say "standard" 195's and "special" 205 and 215's. Do you think there would be any noticeable difference in handling or feel with the 215's.

Discount has a visual conversion utility where you can plug in the tire size now and proposed and new and see the
difference. It also shows the speedometer variance that results.

Forgot what year yours is, but I assume you have 205/14. This calculator claims 215/75 14 is the only option for a 1965
Dodge B for example.
