TIRES

Hi everyone!!!! I'm getting ready to order new tires for my 1980 corvette. I wanted to make sure 255/60/15 would fit the rims I have. I have 225/70/15 on it now. Does any one know if they fit?

Thanks Jeff

BFG's bolt right on.  The were the OEM optional size when new.  BFG and Coopers are the choices now-a-days unless you want to spend money on the reproduction Goodyears that Coker & ?? sell.

Thanks for the info. So the rim I have is big enough. That was the standard rim?

Cooper's can go faster...

Yup, the rim is big enough to handle the 255's. C3 Corvette aluminum rims are 15" x 8" and C3 '69-'82 steel rallye's are also 15" x 8."

I happen to have a set of Firestone Firehawks I'll sell. Less than 5000 miles on them. Look new. Just bought them 10 years ago. CHEAP!!!!!!! New Mickey Thompsons on the way.

Thanks for all your help!!! BFG on there way!!!

Well... my very old uniroyal tiger paw RWL with plenty of rubber have to go! The age is finally becoming a concern. Hate to get rid of them ...The just look really cool and have always handled just ok. But never in rain!!    BFG RWL next week or me. CRAP!!
