15x7 magnums and 245 60 15 on all four corners?

[hillbillyGTX]

HI All,
Anybody running this tire and rim setup, 245 60 15 square on 15x7 on a 67 GTX? Pics, any fitment issues?

Thanks,
Casey

My 67 GTX with 14 inch rims now.

Since you have an auto the Dana must have been added at some time. You might want to check its year as I believe the 68/69/70 Dana’s are a little wider than 66/67 models. I have a later 8-3/4 under my 67 and with 7” magnums it’s a bit of a struggle to get the rears on and off with 215/75-15 tires. Any wider tire and I would have to unbolt the shackles.

245/70/15 on 15x7” Magnums with 3.75” backspace. Never a problem.

@cosgig Whoops, double check that tire size.

Mine does have a Dana. And it is from a 1966.


That said

Getting the tire out from under the car requires I lift it from the one side.

Or

If I pick it straight up from the center diff with both wheels off the ground.
I can not get a tire out unless I set the chassis on jackstands and let the rear axle drop down

Hey, it is a 66/67 dana according to the date code. Thanks for the info!

Just an fyi,

In my post above. the 2 pics on the top are recent versus the 2 lower and the car has had suspension work to lower the rear of the car slightly. If that matters

While you are probably correct, adding a Dana to an auto car was a factory option.

Dana and automatic, not and option until 1969.

Correct

 

[hillbillyGTX]

I am sure the dana was added to my car, but, I have owned it since 1987, so it feels like a factory option to me! LOL

That size looks perfect on almost any car. Except I always like a little more tire under the rear.

I stand corrected. Never owned a 67, but mistakenly assumed a guy could have always ordered a Dana in any 440 car.

Update: I got my new wheels and 245’s on my car, I love them. Thanks for the input.

Looks great, I have the same size on my 67 245/60 15.
