275s would be the maximum, I would think. I would probably settle for 255s.

Thanks255’s sounds pretty good to me.

275 is too wide for a 7 inch rim per most tire manufacturers. That said, I've seen it done quite a lot.
Whether or not the tire shop gives you grief about it will depend on the shop you use. 255 is good.

You're welcome. Good luck on that. Send pics when you get the wheels and tires on.

You can put a 275 series tire on that rim.
I had them on the back on my F-Body Runner for a short time and they looked just fine.

You have a BUNCH more room on the back of an F-body than on a 66-67 B-body.
I would have no problem with a 275 on a seven either. Heck, I've got a 16"wide tire on a 12"rim. The question is if a 275 will fit on that rim on that CAR!

! run 255-60's on my 7" wide wheels. That's about the max I would run.

Tire size.com recommends 7.5-9.5 for a 275.
They recommend 7-9 for a 255.
My 255 is on an 8" rim that didn't have enough bs to put a 275 on and clear the fender. Fills the wheelhouse nicely though.

Thanks looks like I’ll go with the 255’s.

Looks like 255’s for this one.Thanks
