Will P/235/75/15 tires adequately fit into the wheel wells of my 68 without rubbing?
Thanks,

Probably yes, but why not use something a little closer to original? -
Re: P235-75-15
Go with one of the three V-rated P225/70R-15 police pursuit tires.

Re: P235-75-15
I've used 235-60-15's on the stock 8" rims for my 69 and 70's with the F41 suspension and they don't rub.Comment

75-section tires are kinda skinny compared to the aspect ratio of the originals...Comment

Re: P235-75-15
John —
I thought that the aspect ratio of the originals was 78%, like all 6.70-15s etc, until the F70 and G60, etc came out. At least, that is my recollection, but I sure ain't gettin any younger.Comment

F70-15 was original *NM*

I tried to put a set of Goodyear Eagle RS-A P235/75R15s on a 1970 with F41 without success. They would probably fit with the standard suspension. I'll give any member a great deal on them. E-mail me if you are interested.Comment

Sal:
I put on a set of Firestone Firehawk 235/60 15's on my 68, and they do rub just a little at full wheel lock.
I now wish I had gone with the Police tires that Duke and others are recommending.
I got a price on the police tires at around (Firestones they were) 120 each.
The Firehawks were 65 each.
Since I don't drive my car that hard, I figured they would be OK, given the cost savings, and the other stuff I needed at the time!

Re: P235-75-15
If the section width is the same (235) then the 75 profile is larger diameter than the 60 series, so wouldn't the 235-75-15 rub worse than the 235-60-15?
Thanks,
