So I am looking into some new tires and its a pain to find the same size I am running(205/70/15 front 275/60/15 rear) What size tires are you running with 15in rims? What brands? and of course pics :happy1:
 
On what car? I am gonna assume your Dart Sport
I have on my 73 340 Duster 225-70-15 up front and 275-60-15
Wheels are Mirada CMX Wheels 15x7 with 4 1/4 Backspace (Just like Factory Cop Wheels)
a 225-70 is slightly shorter than a 275-60 by like a 1/2 inch

Needed a 1/4 inch spacer on the rear so the tire wouldnt rub on the front spring pack clamp

The rear wheels are 15 X 8 rallies with 4 1/4 back space, and the fronts are 15 X 7 with 4 1/4 backspace also. no other mods.....
 
275/60/15 on a 15x8
It actually sits a little lower and wheels are slightly tucked now this is a couple months ago

I run 13" tires and I couldn't find any locally so I ordered from discounttiredirect.com they had free shipping and the cheapest prices PLUS I got a 3 year warranty to cover the tire replacement. They also sell rims although I couldn't find any small bolt pattern. I called instead of online order and the guy discounted the price even more. I gave $250 shipped to my door for a full set.

I also checked other tires and they were cheap on other sizes as well.
 
I like my 215/65/15's up front and 245/60/15's on the back because they are very close in overall diameter but I like the staggered width. BFG T/A's. I do think I would go white letters in if I did it again though.

I'm running the same as you. My tires are from Big O tires ( their brand ). Didn't seem too hard to get.

Yeah, white lettered tires are kind of out BUT your car looks great! nothing wrong with your setup. NICE CAR!
 
295/50/15 on the rear & 185/65/15 front. Also have air shocks in the back, which give it about another 2 " (they are "inflated" in this pic). I find the 185's a little skinny and will prob go with a 225 or so when replacing.

Can't beat the old school muscle car look with this setup!
