Wheel and tire question for 68 GTS

swinger1969 said

I see most guys seem to go with 60 series tires front and back , which are actually wider and lower profile then 70's, right? I'm in the process of putting 215/65x15 and 235/70x15 on my 69 Swinger using 15x6 front and 15x7 on the back - I have 14x5.5 all around right now. I ordered the 15" wheels from Coker because Wheel Vintiques confirmed that occassionally they have had problems with cap fit with their steelies.

NO, 60 series is an aspect ratio. It doesn't necessarily mean wider or lower profile. It is an aspect number between the 2. (Ex 325/50R15)

My Cummins Ram 2500 truck has 35" tall tires under it. They are 60 series. ( LT315/60R20) They are anything but low profile!

My car has 50 series under it. They are 28" tall on 15's. Do these look low pro to you?

Buy your tires based on the SECTION width and TIRE HEIGHT that you require.
