[Bergelt Tino]

Hello,
do the rims fit on my 70 Dodge Sedan?
8x15 "BS 4.5" 275 / 60R15 Rear
7x15 "BS 4.5" 245 / 60R15 Front

Many thanks
Tino

Yes but you will find the front tires are too wide and thin side-walled . I hated the 60 series on the front of my Dodge.

 

[Bergelt Tino]

OK thanks !!
what do you have in front of it now ?
what would you recommend have still the choice what I mount on my 7x15 ...

235 70 R 15s. 1970 and 1971 Dodges

I had 245 or 255 60s on one of my dodges 10 years ago. I hated the choice, the sidewall is to narrow

 

[Bergelt Tino]

OK,
that helps me ;)

235/60 and 255/60 were my front and rear choice for many years, back when you could buy BFG radials in big sizes for about $75 each.
I never thought the 235/60 had a too-short sidewall, and 245 would be a little taller.
255/60 was almost to wide for the rim, but I never had any trouble from it.

Make sure to check your front brake hoses to not rub the tire at full turn. Had that occur with those sizes on an 80 Doba.

Man, I wish BFGs were affordable still...

Cop wheels are only 15x7 unless they are custom.

At Carlisle $105 to $ 140 each. I'm fine with that, it's not 1983 anymore.

Summitracing is carrying reproduction standard wheels and cop wheels in 15x7 and 15x8.

Yes You Can. But 2 out OF 4 Will not Be True on The Wheel Balancer Went Thru 8 of Them From Summit Before I Got 4 Good Ones

 

[fury fan]

I had heard some of 'those' wheels had issues, how long ago for you? I wonder if they've gotten better in manufacturing?

 

[Two 67's]

About 4 years ago I've Dealt With Coker Tire Lately. No Issues With Them Yet!
