Can anyone confirm that 235/60-15 tired on 15x7"; steel cop rims will fit the front of my '65 Monaco, without any rubbing issues?
The rims have 4"bs.
Thanks

Not a problem mate! A 70 profile would fill the guards out a bit better though.

Great! The 235/60's won't rub turning when backing up or anything like that?

no chance, unless it's been lowered heaps.

I ran that size on the front of almost every C I've had, and some others also. Fits nice.

1 caveat:
IF the car has been converted to factory discs/hoses, and IF the tubing-hose bracket wasn't relocated properly the hose will be taut at extremes of steering/suspension travel. I noticed that when I did my first disc conversion about 20 years ago. If you have that scenario check the tire fitment extra close, as that might allow rubbing. Although you really should relocate the bracket to ease the strain on the hose.
