new wheels and tires
I have decided on new Magnum 15's for my '65 Mustang.. I'm looking for tire sizes.. Anyone running 215 70 15's or 215 60 15' on a '65 or '66...

I don't think those will look bad. I am putting 205/60R16 and 245/50R16 on my 67.

Those look great James. Eventually I'm going to break down and buy the same thing, but 225's

i still havent forgiven you for not sending me those wheels when you were finished with them james
btw, with the 4.25" bs on mag500s you can get away with
225 /60/15s...just a little more meat to fill the rear spaces and will still fit on the front

mine is 1.5 lower at the front. 225/60/15s have a minor rub on the outside with torque thrust D's...but they are 3.75" bs. No issues at the rear.
