Another tire thread.
I'm wanting to put new Cooper Cobras on some 15" SS-3 wheels I have. I would like to fill the wells up some but don't want any rubbing up front.
I also would like to keep the same size all the way around for convenience and for a better deal on a set of four. Thoughts on size?
These will be for the 70 W. It has 225-70-14's on it now. I will be painting the wheels argent grey to keep in line with what came with it in 70.
Thanks for you thoughts fellas.

I have 245-60-15s all around with no issues. One time the tire shop made a mistake and put a 255-60-15 on the left front and it rubbed on turns. Brought it back and got a 245-60-15 and all was well. Others have reported 255-60-15s fit on front without rubbing, but I think that has a lot to do with ride height and suspension quality (mine was 20+ year old original springs). Rear was no problem with 255s due to the huge fender wells.
Back in the 70s - 80s my 70 Supreme had 225-70-15s on front and back with no issues.
