fitment of 245 60 15 tires on 15x7 rim
Hello, looking for some help on how the 245 fits on a 7 inch wide rim( is there is any excessive sidewall bulging etc) and if there is any issues with rubbing any where on the car.

Absolutely no concerns as long as the wheels have the correct backspacing:

Old 14" wheels / tires vs. new 15" wheels / tires.

Thank you, awesome color on your '71', looks like the tires fit well. I am currently running 225 70 15 on SSIII rims and adding quite a bit more power and would like to put more rubber on the ground.

255/60-15s fit fine. 245s are a no-brainer.
