Tire size question

[Neal]

I'm planning on purchasing a set of Coker's WW radials for my '58, but I have a question for the group. The outfit I'm looking at purchasing them from doesn't have the "replacement" size in stock (19575R15) but does have the next size up (20575R15).

Do you know if there are any clearance problems with this slightly larger size? If they have to order the 195's, I'm looking at another $70 in shipping, where as they offered to bring a set of 205's to the local swap meet going on in this area next weekend.

Thanks much in advance......

IMHO-I don't think 10 millimeters in width will make a difference.

205/75-15 is the generally accepted replacement size for C1's (6.70-15) and C2's (7.75x15). I had Coker 205/75-15 wide-whites on my '57, and have their 205/75-15 redlines on my '67.

Thanks for the response John, and congrats on owning two beautiful cars!
