Tire\wheels

Scamp I know they tire is old, just had to throw something on the car at the moment..
interesting about the pic and cell phone
69, there is no 1" between the fender lip and tire, I was saying there is about 1" between
the tire and the spring..
I am not interested in moving the springs or anything else.
My reading indicates that a 245 is max on an 8" rim
Since my plan is to keep the wheels, I'll go one size narrower 225\70r 15 or even a 65
if I can get it...that should bring the speedometer back to calibration
from my reading a 245 is max width on an 8" rim...
thanks for the info guys.. always helps
