Tire size on lowered 68

Rev · 03-09-2007, 08:06 PM

On my lowered '66, I use 215/60/15's on the front and 235/60/15's on the rear. I did have to roll the rear fender well lips a little to avoid rubbing.

My '68's lowered with 1" lowering coils plus the shelby drop in front. I also did the granada disc brake swap. Not sure about the 15" rims, but I'm running 225-50-17's on 7" rims in front and 255-50-17's on
8" rims in back.

Thanks everyone. I ordered the tires and rims and I will let everyone know how they fit.

Just to let everyone know, The tires and rims are on and fit great.

Thanks for the help.
