What size tire for 15x7 SSIII rims on 1969 Cutlass S?
Hi,
I'm looking to replace my 14" 14x7 rims with 15x7 SSIII stock rims I have with the bolt on caps. I've read a lot online here about guys using 245/60/15 all around on these rims on 70-71-72 models and they look great. I'm wondering if I'll have any issues on my 69 Cutlass S using that size all around the car and in particular on the front with my disk brake setup. Don't want to get caught with any rubbing on the front or rear wells. Thanks for any help.

I run the 245's on 15x8 (4.5" BS) Torq Thrusts all around on my '72 - added 1" aluminum wheel spacers to the rear to push them out a bit for a more full look while still retaining 4-wheel rotation ability.
Discs up front, no rubbing on turns or bumps.
just watch your backspacing - I believe 4.25" is standard for the 15x7's and that should work perfectly with the 245's assuming rest of your suspension good.
