64 tire sizes

[Don M.]

Guys, I had Cragar 7" mags on my 1962 Corvette, I sold the car, kept the wheels. Am I assuming correctly that since it is pre disc brakes that the wheels will mate up to the drums ok?? I had 215 -75-15 radials BFG, do you think the tires will clear ok??? They fit fine on the 62, but there is more room.

Re: 64 tire sizes

I think they should fit but it is a tight fit. I believe from reading others comments you may hit the wheel opening on hard cornering at a driveway entrance. 205 75 15 fits with no problems. In addition I believe the 205 has about the same circumference as the original tires so your speedometer should work correctly.
