Tire size
Have an 85 5.0 with original 10 hole rims 15x7 I believe. I'm running 235s in the rear... What's the biggest tire I can fit on that rim without rubbing on wheel well? 245?

keep in mind your tire dia. this will effect your speedo and what will fit your 7" rim. I'm not sure what wide sizes come in 15" that will still be close to the stock dia. w/o plus sizing.

245s are okay and 255s should be also.
