I am running 15x7 ralleys all around. No problems with 21570R15 BFG RTA on front. Backs are 25570R15. I needed the 29" height to fill some day two wheel wells. Earl

I am running 15x7 Torque thrusts on the 68 without any issues. The rear tires are 245/60 and the front are 215/65. I wanted the tire height to be about the same and that combo seemed to give me what I was looking for.

Nice, real nice, I havn't bothered you in a couple of days, and I get sheep. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif Charley, if your going to race, the M/T G60s will work pretty well, unless you're gonna get crazy and go with cheater slicks. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
Mr Howie, please check your mail for the new set of Gibson banjo strings I've sent you, so you can join in with your relation. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Tommy, great looking car. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Are you running the TTO's or the "D's"?

Tommy 07-20-2006 08:57 PM

Re: 1969 Nova Wheels & Tires
 
Those are the D's. They look nice but after seeing how the real thing looks, I wish I had some of the old ones. Schonye, thats A huge compliment, thanks.

I got A pair of these the other day and put one on my 72 Nova to see how it would look. The tire is a very old Dunlop G 70 15. I think the wheel is A 7 or 8 inch but I can't find any markings on it to tell who made it or what size it is.
