63 Comet rear tires

dan-d · 08-28-2008, 09:23 AM

I've done some measuring and I think I can squeeze a set of 235/60x15 inch tires on a pair of standard "0" offset wheels under the rear of my 63 Comet. Has anyone tried this yet? - dan

I've got 215/70/15's on mine. They are tight, but there's enough clearance.

Thanks, what is your wheel back spacing?

Don't know for sure, they're stock '75 Dodge truck wheels.
I have 3/4 to 1" clearance on the outside, and about 1 1/2" between the springs and tire.

Thanks again for the info, you've actually got a lot of clearance with this setup. - dan
