Anybody know a maker of 235/50-15 tires. I have looked at the 245's too wide, and the 225 are too narrow. Looking for a 23' tall by 8-9 wide tread width on a 8.5 rim

Cooper and BF Goodrich should have them. On my 68' I'm putting 15x8 rims with 4-1/2" Backspacing, and 265/50/15s (Cooper Cobras). I still got meat and I can even rotate them too!

I have checked every site I could find, I guess no one makes this size. I had 235/60 but they rubbed even with 3 spacer blocks in the front spring. I hate to give up my rims 15 x 8 1/2 with 3 3/4 back space because it took five years to find them . They look like the Dukes of Hazard style.

That's really funky that BFGoodrich does not have 235/50/15s on their site. I looked and didn't see them either. I have those on my car now. Might want to just call a tire shop and inquire about that size. I know they exist. I have BFGoodrich T/As at that size. Still baffled it's not listed on their site.
