Will a tire size of 205/60/15 for the front fit on a '66 coupe without rolling the fenders?

Thinking of switching from 14's to 15X6 on the front and 15X7's on the back...

 

205/60s are pretty wide to put on a 6" rim. why not go with 15x7s all around?

 

I didn't figure 15X7's would work without rolling the fenders on the front.

I was looking at the CJ Pony kits that have the combination of the 6's on the front and 7's on the back.

Seems like they offer a 205/60 or a 215/60...but I wouldn't quote me on that.

 

215/60-15s on 4.25" backspacing should be fine. Maybe a touch of rolling the fenders wouldn't hurt.

These are the above tires and backspacing on 15x7s all around.
No issues

 

I have 15x7 styled steel wheels with what I believe have 4.25" of BS or so and the 215/60's fit perfect without rolling. FWIW, my car is also lowered with a Global West suspension and drop. I had 225/50's which also fit but were too low profile for my taste and are limited in tire options. I tried a 225/60 which rubbed and I had to sell after only a few hundred miles. Doh!

[edit] those are the 225/50's in the sig. The 225/60's ride much nicer and perform quite well. FWIW, I got a great deal on Good Year Eagle GTs which run a bit smaller in diameter than the BFG's.

 

Specifically, I was looking at this set up

Sounds like with what ya'll are saying either the 205's or the 215's would be fine on the front but what about the back. My leaf springs are ~ six months old so not riding low anymore like the old worn out springs. Would 225's fit on the back in a 15x7?

 

When I was running the 15's. I had a 205/60-15 on Cragar GT Aluminum wheels and they are 15x6 wheels. According to Tire Rack, That tire WILL work on a 5.5"-7" wheel. I do think I rolled the fenders though cuz I had the 1" lower springs and I did cut the coils to make it lower, don't remember how much though.

I also run 15x7 wheels with 215 60 15 front tires. I have no issues with this setup. My wheels are Magnum 500.

You can run 205 and 15x6. I have seen several cars like this.

 

So if I had 15X6 with 215/60/15's on the front and 15x7's on the back with 225/60/15 for the back it would fly with no rolling?

I think getting the bit larger tires would be better then what I have now ...205/70/14. With the performance upgrades when I am going around a corner pulling out in traffic I have problems not spinning the tires a bit with just normal acceleration. I've never tried really getting on it hard but I can imagine.

 

That should work fine.
