245 60 15

Hey new member here. Looking at a set of wheels 15x8 with 245 60 15 tires on all 4 for my 86 Regal. Has anyone ran this setup with any issues? This is my current setup. Fronts are 215 70 15.

Welcome to the forum! First number is width in mm. Second is percentage of that, height wise. The backspacing of the wheel is also a factor but it's not listed. With all the numbers & knowledge of your suspension and driving style the answer can be figured. You'll need to know your current backspacing as well as what the new wheels have, do a little math, and you'll have your answer.

On my Monte I ran 15x8's with 4 in backspacing all around and had 245 60's on the front and 275 60's on the back with no issues.

I'm running that size on my El Camino. The rims are 15x7 Centerlines with 3.5-inch backspacing. I ran 255 without any problems.

I believe 245/50/16 fit ok.

if those are the wheels you will be using, then call Discount Tire. they can tell you what size tires they would install

i have a monte ss with all 4 245/50 17s on 17x 8s 3.5 bs which = 245/ 60 15 dia 26.6". the fronts rub a little on inner plastic wells behind tires when making 90 degree turns such as a drive thru, its managable.
