Well I know 215/70/15s w/15X7 TTO wheels rub in the front fenders when my chassis bottoms on some bumps...rears do fine. Next time I might try 205s or 65 series tires on the fronts.

Hi , I installed a set of 15" Torquies with 225/15/65 tires on all four corners and they are PERFECT! No rub, killer stance and an agressive look! Just remember there is precious little room in those wheel wells so BE CAREFUL with sizing on both wheels and tires. I might add too to consider back spacing. sounds like you are building a nice ride. GOOD LUCK!!
Kind Regards, TOM

Hey Tom do you have pics of your car with that wheel/tire combo?
I may go to that size tire to fix my rubbing issue.

I tried 215s on 15s on my caliente and they rubbed, I switched to 195s, and they worked out nice,Its for sale at classic cars west if you want to se pics, My HIPO has 10" cheaters, and with air shocks and 67 lbs, they work out well.
Hope this helps
