Maxrt72 Feb 21st, 02, 11:12 AM I plan on changing the gears in my chevelle to a lower ratio (4.56). But I occasion would like to drive it on the street. i would like to know what the tallest tire I can fit in the rear with 15 x 8 x 4.5 bs rims. The body is standard rid heighth. thanks Mytmouse Feb 21st, 02, 12:50 PM I know you can fit a P275 60R 15 in there. I think those tires have 28" diameter. My buddy has those gears and tire combo on his 68SS ragtop. He has driven around town with that combo and has even had it on the freeway once or twice but he wasn't going very fast and had some pretty high R's going there.
