'65 Dart w/ 15's

[ChargerKG]

Hello Gang, First time on board. I want to put the SBP Chrysler 15" x 6" silver rallyes offered by Summit on my Dart. Was thinking 215/65R15's all around. Just worried about the fronts scrubbing. Anybody running this setup? Thanks!

Fronts cant take much. I have 225-70/15 's on the rear of my 66 on 15x7's with a 4" backspace.they work fine. Welcome to FABO.

You might try this website. It lets you plug in the known info and clearances from your existing wheel/tires and then try different combinations of new wheels and tires and shows the resulting clearances. By measuring with the wheels at full lock you should be able to ck for scrub.

I'm running that combo on the front of my '65 Valiant. I had issues with 15x7 on the front and went to the 15x6. No problem now. The 15x7's are still on the back.

Great site. Great reminder too. First thing when the tire shop sets the car down..suspension compressed..do the lock to lock test.

Wow. A guy asks a simple question and he gets 12 convoluted responses that read like test from an old manual. Not helpful.

Like text. . .if a guy wants guidance on best tire size for 15x7 rims with a 4" BP, don't responded with what you run on your 14x5 rims. If you don't know, ya don't know.

Usually people introduce themselves in the Welcome Wagon and show off their rides before they pick out a dead thread and start talkin to themselves.

Obviously, I was not since two people, including you, responded. That said, you are correct that I should have introduced myself. My apologies to the group for that.
