1973 scamp front tire size.

I put 195/65R-15s on my 7" front wheels. They look good with the 235/60s I have on the back of my 73 Dart.

Your rear wheels look identical to mine (Vision Wheel 141 Legend 5). I did not think I could get 255s on there without hitting either the leaf springs or the fender lips.

255's work on some cars and not others just because of the body tolerances on these cars. Pretty sure that's what toolmanmike has on the back of his. They're the largest tire that will fit with the stock spring locations without cutting or rolling the fender lips on cars that are at the wide end of the factory tolerances. But you need to have 11" from spring to quarter lip on both sides and the backspace has to be pretty much dead on for your axle to make it work. If your car is tighter than 11" or if the backspace isn't right on then it may take a little quarter lip work. Some cars they work great, others need some work to make it happen.

Well when you try to lower your car and completely max out the tire widths you figure some things out. I've definitely learned some things out the hard way though. Thanks for the shout out!

4.5 bolt pattern. I don't really need or want to go bigger. I would prefer to have the tire height at 24-25 inches, no more. The rear tires are 255/60-15 , the rear is narrowed, not tubbed and leafs are moved in 1/2 inch. So, In a perfect world, I would have a tire fit like this one, diameter and position relative to the fender but on a 15x7 inch rim. What BS and tire size would give me that combination?

If you meant to attach a picture it's not on there.

If you're running the stock 73+ disks then 15x7 with a 4.25" backspace is what you want. I never run a tire less then 25" tall in the front, it just looks weird IMO. I actually try to stay between 25.5" and 26" if I can. A 225/60/15 is 25.6" tall and works pretty well on that rim, on some cars it can be a little close to the fender. Based on your description you'd probably be happier with a 215/60/15, that will leave a little more room to the fender and is ~25.2" tall.
