Cbitz233 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Would a P295 65r15 fit on the rear of an 83 Avanti? Does anyone know if it's too wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHcamper Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I have 255/60/15 on my 82. Look good and car handles fine. 235/60/15 on front, no rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim78 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 If nobody replies with that exact size, I would suggest that you google "tire dimensions - images" . There are many charts there that show tire dimensions. Compare the width of your existing size to the P295 65R, and cut a block of wood to half of the difference. Use it to check the clearance. Be sure to check both sides, as they might not be the same. Otherwise, find a tire shop that will sell you one very used take-off P295 65R cheap to do a trial fit before buying the new tires. If the clearance is close, have an assistant push the body side to side while you are checking, to simulate cornering. Sometimes a tire that appears to fit OK will rub in a turn.

Avanti83 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Be sure your rims are wide enough for that tire size also. 8-10.5" is the recommended width. I'll bet there's room but as Jim78 said above, check the size measurements. It might require a new rim with different offset. My 83 has 245/60R15 on 8" wheels with about a 4.25" back spacing.
