15x8, 4.5 BS, 225/60 -- in the front on a 65 Coupe, stock everything including drum (going factory disc this summer).

Current plan is 15x7, 3.625 BS, 205/60. (which is 90% sure to work).

===

The "current plan" has a small possibility of rubbing. I simply can't afford to make a mistake on this, and as far as I can tell the 15x8 4.5 SHOULD be a certainty since 16x8 and 17x8 work at this BS. (I wont be adding the neg cam/shelby arms for a couple more years.)

Fingers crossed, genuinely sorry for yet another wheel question. I will slap myself for some of you.

 

Pardon the redundancy, but as I mentioned in another thread (in case you didn't see it), be careful how you check for rubbing. The wheel has to clear the fender on bumps at high speeds going straight, but also over bumps at high speeds on a wide turn. Be sure to also check the car going in reverse and turning at the same time on a hill (i.e. backing out of a slightly raked driveway into the driving lane).

Only trying the wider/taller tire (or smaller b/s) will tell. If someone responds with those wheels/tires (or bigger) that has driven the car as I described in the 2 situations above, the set-up will work.

If you're not absolutely sure, go with the sizes closer to stock. Good luck.

you should buy your tires and wheels from discount tire co./america's tire store if they do not fit properly and they rub at all they will refund your $

I was going to say the same thing. When I buy mine I am going to a wheel shop where they will deal with the issues if the wheels and tires dont fit. You can also find better deals than ordering off the net from what I have found.

 

I bought my tires from tirerack. Discount tire has some no name tires. I know Falken and Goodyear are on there.

 

Hiya

I have
205/60R15 front on 5lug 15" 3.75 BS in front and
225/60R15 front on 5lug 15" 3.75 BS in back
(had to go slimmer in front as i don't have power steering)
nowhere near rubbing in front, so you should be good

that's what that looks like
