I am running 15x7 ralleys all around. No problems with 21570R15 BFG RTA on front. Backs are 25570R15. I needed the 29" height to fill some day two wheel wells. Earl

I am running 15x7 Torque thrusts on the 68 without any issues. The rear tires are 245/60 and the front are 215/65. I wanted the tire height to be about the same and that combo seemed to give me what I was looking for.

Nice, real nice, I havn't bothered you in a couple of days, and I get sheep. Charley, if your going to race, the M/T G60s will work pretty well, unless you're gonna get crazy and go with cheater slicks.

Tommy, great looking car. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Are you running the TTO's or the "D's"?

I got A pair of these the other day and put one on my 72 Nova to see how it would look. The tire is a very old Dunlop G 70 15. I think the wheel is A 7 or 8 inch but I can't find any markings on it to tell who made it or what size it is.
