hi guys, I'm referencing a tire chart and trying to determine what size tire to buy for my project (actually a '64 vette) and getting the tire width right is critical due to my backspacing limitations. I'm looking at 295/50/15's rear (Avon) and 245/60/15 front (Avon).
Based upon some BFG 235/60/15 and 235/70/15 that are on the car now and their physical measurements, I'm concerned that the specific tire chart I'm referencing may be conservatively on the narrow side of actual.
Can somebody please physically measure their tires if they match the Avon's I'm looking at and let me know the section width (total) and bulge width (tire most outer point to outer flange lip on wheel). For reference, I measured with the wheel and tire laying flat on the ground and a straight edge across the tire on top. measured from straight edge to ground and from straight edge to outer edge of wheel flange/lip.
Also please let me know if you have them mounted on 15x10" wheels or not.
Thanks so much,
mikey
