wheels and tires

Post by hmiller79 » Tue Jan 08, 2008 11:19 pm

Will 275/60/15 tires fit on the rear of a 71 roadrunner that has 15x8 wheels?

Depends on the wheel offset/backspace, but typically, YES.

275-60-15 on a 15x8 with 4.5" backspace/zero offset is a very common combination on a B-body.

Tires will definitly fit. I have 275/60/15 on mine but wheels are 7in.

Back spaceing of wheels is what needs checked. If it is a MOPAR wheel I'd say OK.

I have 295x60x15 on the back of my 71GTX so yes it will.
