Replacing my 13” wheels with a set of Wheel Vintique 15x6 (3.75” backspacing) steelies.
She’s not really going to be a hot-rod, rather a stock-appearing MPG queen with a Super-Six and A833OD.
I’m thinking about 205 75 R15 all the way around for a relatively stock-ish look and to achieve the goals I have for the build.
Anyone else run these?
Will there be any fitment issues?
TIA
 
It is very easy to measure rear tire fitment. You need a straightedge and a ruler.

I ran 235/60/15s on both my 64 Darts with 7” rims. Plenty of room.

Did you go with the steelies? I am looking to put the same ones on a 65’ Barracuda in the rear. I have 14” 4.5 for the front.
 
Be very precise and careul in measuring/calculating here!
I sort of rushed my decision on moving my 67 Barracuda from 15s to 14s, and wanted the raised white Letter Cooper GTs.
The problem was, I was going from a 60 sidewall, to a slightly wider tire which only came in 70 sidewall.
I got some fender rub on the front end any time I went over dips and turned the wheel.
I sounded a lot worse tha it actually was.
 
Rears are 15x7 with 4.25 BS 255/60 15
No rubbing anywhere
