    Anyone tried running 235/60/15's all around. Any problems. I have 225/60/15 on my 68 but that seem a little too low profile. Looking for something to approximate the same diameter as the original E70x15...but with a bit more contact patch. Thanks!

    Ask Ranger Jerry, I think he is running that size tire. He may be able to tell you if they rub or have any problems.

    I am running 235/60/15 Goodyear Eagle GTII both front and back on my 67.
    Lowered upper control arms as per Boss 302 Chassis Manual
    and no power steering. Works excellent and no rubbing anywhere.
    Had Dunlop 245/60/15 many years ago and they rubbed both front
    and rear when the roads were bad.

    Running 235/60/15 BFGs and have no problem with rubbing. Have had the tires hit the wheel opening chrome on hard bumps (like speed bumps). However, I think 225's are more suitable for all around driving with no problems. The 235's I'm running are on steel rims with hubcaps not 10 spokes. I don't know if that makes a difference.
