How big of a rear tire can I run on a stock 65 sport fury with 15x7 Mopar police slots?
TY in advance.

If backspacing is right, you should be able to stuff a 275 wide tire in there, but it will be tight.
 
I had 275/60/15s on my 66 New Yorker on an 8" rim with 4" back space. It was tight at the skirt but adequate. Lots of room to the spring.

If I did it again with an 8" rim, I would go with at least 4.5" back space.

I recently went down this same path. Here is what I put on my 65 Sport Fury .

255 60/R15 on 8x15s 4.5 " BS in the rear.

215 65/R15s on 7x15s up front. I went with this size to add to the rake I was looking for. You can also go with 70s as was recommended to me as the more exact fit to the rear tire height, but again, I was looking for a style.

I felt the 275 was too much tire and I'm happy with my choice. The 255s fit great and look right in my opinion.

Yup, looks great to me also! :thumbsup:
Chose to go 235/75-15 all around on my 66 Newport. Wanted redlines but they were not budget friendly. Going blackwalls. I’ll see how they look in a week or so as they’re due to arrive by Wednesday.
