    I have searched this forum a couple of times with no luck, trying to come up with front tire sizing. 1965 Skylark with stock front suspension, and 15 7 wheel ( 4 1/8 backspacing ). What is the largest tire size I can fit with no possibility of rubbing. Rear tire sizing is already taken care of.

    Thx, Todd

    Thanks Bob, your car is one of the cars that I liked the tire selection. Beautiful car, I see you have 8 inch rims with 5 inch back spacing. What size tires do you have on the back? I have 8 inch rims with 4.5 inch BS.
    Thx, Todd
