Tires: Correct tire size, 1977 chrysler cordoba, goodrich tires

Question
I am trying to make a 1977 Chrysler Cordoba look sharp.  A "motorhead" in CA told me that the 100% perfect application is the Cragar S/S 15 X 7 mags with the BFGoodrich T/A Radial tires ---- 245/60/15.  So - on blind faith all this has been ordered!  Nobody can tell me for certain that any of this will fit!  Those 245s sure look wide but I'd hate to chicken out and go down to 225.  Do you have any idea what they were doing in '77 and if this stuff will fit?  Also, it's hard to come across the Goodrich tires, but I can get some Dunlop G/T Qualifiers --- as I recall, they were around and just as popular.  Any thoughts (of course, no brand comparison!) . . . . Thanks

Answer
David,

A 1977 Chrysler Cordoba came with GR78-15's inflated to 30 psi front and rear.  So a P245/60R15 has enough load capacity for the vehicle.

But your question is "Will this fit?" Unfortunately no one publishes a book that tells how much room there is in the fenderwells for al the vehicles produced, especially something as unusual as yours.

I would suggest you find an on line club or a web site devoted to your vehicle.  Someone at this type of site has probably done this and can tell you his experiences.

As far as tires is concerned, many manufacturers will have something in this size, and I don't thing this really matters.

Hope this helps.
