    Any idea if the combination of 245/60x15 (or even 255/60) TA Radial tires on standard 15"x7" (4" backspace) Buick Rallye will comfortably fit in '72 Skylark rear wheel wells?

    Thanks in advance of your comments, etc.

    Fits fine, looks great. 245/60/15 is supposed to be the metric equal to G60-15 but actually is narrower.

    Thank you, Patrick.

    Anybody have experiences with 255/60x15 TA Radials (even though that tire size is almost too large for 7" wide rims)?

    My brother has 255 60R 15 on all 4 corners without any problem on his 72 GS455.

    My 72 with 245 60 r 15 front 15x7
    255 60 15 rear but 15x8 rims 4.5 back spacing.
    You could do the 15x7 and 255 60 15 the side wall is more round. =)
