Originally a GR70-15, which would be a P225 70/15

Oops, forgot the rims.

Those would be 15"x8", 5 lug x 4.75, with 4 inch backspacing. You can go 5" backspacing with the offset trailing arms and shorter rear spring.

Bill is 100% correct, FYI the original rims were made by Kelsey- Hayes and date coded ( in case your going toNCRS ) I put 235-70-r15 on the front & 255-60-r15 onthe rear and they fit fine on my 74 T Top, Pete.
