Widest tire I can use.

Just a quick question,for the experts. The center lines on my 1967 Coronet 500, are 15 inch. What would be the widest tire I can use without causing me rubbing problems ?

Mopar Action fit 295/60/15 BFG drag radials on their 69 RR, though I wasn't able to find a set for my Charger. I currently have 275/60/15 Hoosier drag radials on my 69 and they fit great. Gonna try 325/50/15s next year, though. Hope this helps.

I would say 245/60/15 on the front and 275/60/15 on the rear.

Well, you are a 67, and if your car is anything like mine, you can't go too wide back there. I have 235 in the rear with stock offset.

66 & 67 are both limited in tire size due to the wheel well design. That changed for the good on the 68 up B body models

I thought B bodys were all the same. This is good to know, sorry for the bad info above.
