who's running Cooper 295/50-15s?

Could you measure the actual section width of your tires and tell me what width rims they're on?

Going my 'rated' numbers I think these will clear my frame but it's going to be close. I'd like to know the real life installed width of the tires before I order a set, change them and regulate my car to jack stands.

I have a pair on the back of this car. I'll measure them up for you. 8" wide rims on this one.

That should work perfectly. I haven't verified it but my widened stock rims are supposed to be 8"

Soon as it dries up around here I will get the car out of the garage and measure these. She's tucked away in the corner at the moment. Supposed to be nicer out tomorrow.

That's a hell of a clean car judging by this pic. Great body for an Fbird.

Same here, but I'm running 15x8 soft 8s in the rear not rubbing at all.

Do you guys like the Cooper's on the street? That looks pretty sick on the T type rim, nice and wide....

They're fine on the old muscle car, just like a BFG radial T/A.

Are you set on the Cooper's or the size?
