    Hi everyone, I have a set of 15*7s and need to know the largest radial tire that can fit the front and back of a 70 GS without rubbing. Will P255 60R15 fit up front without rubbing?? Do I need to stay with P245s? How big can I go in the back. P275??

    Thanks

    275's are not a particularly good idea on less than an 8" rim.

    I run a 245/60R15 on the front on factory rims with no problems at all. I had 275/60's on a 15x8 rim out back with no problems and now run a 325/50 on 15x10's, but I did have to trim the top of the fender well 1/4"-3/8" for good clearance.

    Hummmmm after reading some more post Phil pointed out, P245 6015s out front is good and I have a lot of choices out back.

    Thanks Everyone
