We had a very long winter this year. We had snow until begin of April. But now the nature regains the lost time. All of the plants are growing and blooming.
Below two links regarding weather as well as general informations about Switzerland.

275/60/15 = 28" tall, 10.8" section wdith, 6.5" section height.

235/60/15 = 26.1" tall, 9.3" section width, 5.6" section height.

I measrued my rear wheel tubs. There is 12" from the wheel well lip to the inner wall of the tub. Sicne a 275/60/15 has just under an 11 section width, if you use it on a 15x8 with a neautral spacing, you will have about 1/2" of room on either side of the tire in the wheel tub.

Thanks,Pat...By spacing,do you mean how far the wheels are set in or out?...I hope these Keystones are the same as stock,since I'll only have a 1/2" to play with on either side....

i have a 72 and have 15x10 in back and 15x8 in front what do you think about 295/50/15 for back and 275/50/15 for front? look all right or like crap? think i should go w/ 60's all around instead of 50's? thanks

[binder56jd]

i'd say 60's

It would probably look great... but that's allot of front tire... Hope you have power steering.

I mean a combo of back spacing and offset to keep the wheel centered in the wheel tub so it doens't stick in or out.. it has the same amount of room between it and the sheetmetal on each side. I have a set of widened stock steel wheels that are 15x8 that I got 6 years ago from a junyard, that I'm gonna use for 275/60/15s. When I test fit them, they were perfectly centered in my wheel tubs. I don't remeber what the backspace or offset was on them off hand, and they are in storage.
