    Need new Repro Rallys & skins for my '71 GS 350 Convertible.

    I'm going to run the same size all around, and can't decide between the 2 size listed above. What would you suggest?

    Do the 255's on a 8" rim look out of place on the front? Would they rub on the sway bar?

    Thanks

    I put 255/60/R15 on Trans Am 8'' snowflake rims, they fit perfect, little to no sidewall bulge. 7" will bulge

    I have 255/60/15s all around on my vert - mounted on 15x7 Buick rallys in the front and 15x8 Buick rallys in the back. They look great so I vote for the 255s.
