I need help finding the correct tire size. I have 15x7 Torque thrusts all the way around and have done the shelby a-arm mod. The rears are fine but the fronts rub a little bit right now. Is there a good size that will not rub on these wheels?

Every car could have a different ride height. What size front tire are you currently running?

I believe they are 195/65/15 on the front and 215/60/15 on the rear

Tim your tire size of 195/65 R15's are the EXACT same diameter size of my 215/60 R14's and I am thinking of going WIDER!!!!!!!!!! I currently just redid my complete front end with 1 inch lowering springs and shelby 1 inch drop. I noticed a 1 1/2 inch drop over all. After I complete the change with my new tires I will be dropping it more. So after that was said, I don't think anyone can tell you what to run. It all depends on how your car is sitting.

check out the wheel fitment charts.

you could also roll the fender lips to give you additional clearance

Here's my '65 with 225/50/15's on all 4 corners. My wheels are, also, American Racing Torq-Thrust D's - 15" x 7".

Global West UCA's with Shelby drop mod and no rubbing.
