604Cutlass

Hey everyone....It's time for me to finally pick up some tires and rims for my 66 Cutlass convertible.

I'm going to be getting SSI rims in 15x7 and really need some help on making the final tire sizes decision.

I'm looking at either of the below combos:

235/60/15 all the way around
215/70/15 all the way around
215/70/15 front and 235/60/15 rears

I'm not going for a muscle look at all - car is mainly a weekend cruiser and I'm more of a classic car guy with some enhancements to improve look. I'm really struggling with this decision for some reason.

Attached are some pictures of the car. Any input would really help.

Any of those choices would probably look fine. You can also go with 225-70's in the rear and 215-70's in front.

real nice looking convertible you have,if you are not going for the muscle car look why not go same size all around so they can be rotated? for me once you put bigger tires on the rear it starts to look like it has muscle.

A 215/70 matches up in height to a 255/60. With a 235 your rear tire will be noticeably shorter


Maybe look at 235/60 up front with a 245/60 in rear

What is the current tire/wheel equipment on the car now? Is there a problem with the wheels/ tires and caps in condition or mechanically? I personally like the look.
Thanks

I keyed in the wrong tire size in my calculator for the 235/60.

35tac - no problem with the tires or wheels mechanically- just trying to update the look.

Current tires are 205/75/14

So have you made a decision.
