Tire/wheel sizes

[don3527]

77 HX Sandman, I put the lower coil springs on the front and the 2" lowering blocks under the rear end. Anyone have any experience with wheel and tire sizes that fit without rubbing and fill the fender openings? Don't want any real low pro tires.

8 inch rim with a 265/60 series tyre for the rear
7 inch rim with a 245/60 series tyre for the front
you can go smaller on both depends on the look you want
plenty of options

Front 215/65/14. Full-lock reversing up driveway the wheel does occasionally hit guard, but that's the only time.
Rear 235/60/14. 2" lowering blocks. Guards not rolled, so lip does just hit tyre when van loaded, Probably would not hit if original drum brake diff in as it has a disc rear from Statesman which is a little wider.

And yes, there are no loose stones in my street as my mudflaps scrape them away.

Your van sits nice mate... Perfect height, looks good.

Thanks there Big Rob, much appreciated.
I see your Sandman has the low look as well and it sets your van off just right, in my opinion.

Thanks for the help, this car didn't have the original wheels on it when I got ahold of it but there are some Pontiac wheels that are reproduced here in the states that are pretty close.

They will look good as any other wheel

Hi guys, any info on wheel tyre size please, going 15 x 8 rear with 245/60/15 will 105mm back space be ok? And front going 15 x 7 235/60/15 tyres with standard back space, will this be ok?? Cheers

Cant see why that wouldn't work 265s would be better on an 8 inch rim imho
