Reply to "Tires for OEM 15 inch wheels"

bosswrenchMember

I run 245-50x 15" tires on 8" Campys in front with no spring spacers and a lowered front end. (295-50x 15" in back on 10" Campys & the car's balance is exceptional). The contact areas- all show up only in full lock turns- are very minimal and I was able to correct them all with a ball peen hammer in less than an hr. This was in 2002. You may find the left side tire has issues while the right side does not (except for the wiper motor shield).

A 245 is about the max width tire a narrow body Pantera can run, regardless of 15, 16, 17 etc wheel. IMHO, the larger footprint of a 245 and resulting traction & braking improvement is worth an hour's fiddling.
