tire size question

would 235/60/15 or 245/60/15 work for a 1972 bb without rubbing. they will be mounted on stock 1982 alloy wheels. currently wearing p215/70/15.

body off restoration 454/270 hp, pewter silver/blk leather interior, ps/ac/pw/tilt-tele 100% stock top flight

I have 245/60/15's on my 82 CE which also has stock 82 rims. I would suspect that they won't rub.

i'm running 255-60-15 on my 72. the reason i chose this size is that it is the same overall diameter and 2 inches wider than a 215-70-15 and keeps my speedomeer correct without any changes. the fit is close on the front when turning but doesn't rub. though it seems 245-60-15 would also work.

I'm also running 255/60R15 on my '72 without any problems. I'm even running the newer stock rims....
