[mathieu24]

what is the best tires size for a 72 riviera.

[bigdawg5565]

On my 73 Riv I am going to go with 245-60/15's with aftermarket rims with a 5 inch backspace.

according to a site i know the original size for a riviera tire is p225/75/R15 if that is what your lookin for

i run 235/70 's on my centurion on a 15 x 7 wheel

Go large and low Matt!!!!!:TU: Riviera wheels are 15X7 and cant get wider because they are a one wheel piece, unlike the gs wheel....that sucks....Id go with what I have right now on my GS, 255 60 back and 235 60 front!If you go wider than 255 on 7" rim, the tire will have a 'bulge' that I dont like....I use to have a Trans Am with 275 60 and it looks like big donuts.But thats just me!...And will I get to see that Riv this summer????????:TU:

Hi Mathieu,

My guess is you can probably fit something similar to what I have (on my 67):

Front 235/70 on 15x7
Back 275/60 on 15x8.

But If you want that original or close to original look, I wouldn't go wider thant 235, maybe even no more than 225.

Serge.
