Jim - Do not try fitting a 245-60-15 as a front tire on an RCR. I originally started with a 225 thinking the extra width would help - they rubbed on the wheel well at the rear of the well, on the flare, when turning due to the [small] increase in diameter. I had Ron Randall of Metalmorphous rework the inside of the well flare ever so slightly for insurance even with the 215's I eventually used. You might be able to use 245-50's but check before you buy. A.J.
