I am going to be ordering Wide Whitewall Radials for my 55 Ford project this week. Question on the 205R 70 15 vrs the 205R 75 15 sizes. The 75 aspect being just slightly taller than the 70 aspect. Any thoughts or experience you can share in selecting one or the other ? I am using the original stock 15 inch rims , stock front end and rear differential , no body modifications.
I believe the 205 dimension is about right for this vehicle , any thoughts on that ? Just don't want fender clearance issues popping up after I pay the big bucks for these tires.
Thanks for any experience you can share.
