I would like to put bf goodrich radial ta's on my 15 x 6 stock ralleye rims on my buick wildcat. I was hoping to put 235x60x15 on the front and 255x60x15 on the rears. Would this size work on a 6" rim? Would using 235 or 255 x 70 tire be better? Your input is appreciated. Thanks, Dino.:3gears:
On my 75 Lesabre I am running 235 75 15 Bridgestones that I bought cheap off of craigslist, they even have a nice little 1 inch WW. May not be the look for you but they ride great p
According to BFG, you can put a 255/70/15 on a 6.5in wide rim. I've seen them on 6in wide rims. You could probably get away with it, but it won't be ideal. Check out this PDF; http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/assets/pdf/radial_ta.pdf.
with safety in mind, 235r60 is recommended on 7" rims. 255r60 will be okay on 7" rims. personally, i would mount 225r70 on the 6" rims.
Thank you for the replies gentlemen. Would 255's fit on the front or would they rub with steering? Dino
