    forgot to mention my car is a 72gs replica. tires are to be 23560R 15. 7X15 factory wheel in front. 15x8 on rear. the end result hopefully is a lower car all around,more level than with the 27560 on rear now. let me hear your opinion. Thanks Ken 15x8 wheels are wheels vintique 14 years old chrome is perfect,no rust. FYI

    Well, you will certainly lower the profile a bit but, that 462 will blow those rear tires away even worse than the 275 60s you have on there now. Why not put 245/60 x 15s on the front and a pair of 295/50 x 15s on those back 15 x 8 rims? The diameter of both sizes is not only the same at about 26.6 inches but, that's very close to what the original G60 Polyglas tire diameter was back in the day. I've got this set-up on mine and it sits level.
