Tire size on '74?

[Jim B]

Hi all,
Want to put 16" wheels and tires on my '74. What size 16's would fit with out a problem?

Jim,

Here is a pretty slick little conversion. Plug in the standard or current tire then plug in the "wish size" and it gives the difference...
e.g. my 1981 came with original 225/70/15 I now run 255/60/15 and I notice the 255's are just a bit smaller in diameter, something like .4"
