I did a search but I got some mixed info so I figure I'd just ask.

I'm thinking of running

Front- 215/60R15 BFG TAs on 15x7 3.75 bs AR Torq-Thrust Originals
Back- 265/50R15 BFG TAs on 15x8.5 3.75 bs AR Torq-Thrust Originals

on a 64.5 coupe. The coupe is currently stock, but I am willing to modify it if needed. Will these fit? If not, what would I need to do to make them fit?
Thanks

Have you considered going with a 17 or 18?

The car is Cascade Green. I dont mind going with 16s, but I think 17s or 18s are just too big. I dont want to run low profile tires on this car, b/c I want a period correct muscle car look, which was the main reason I wanted the 15s.

I'm currently running ...

215/60R14's and 235/60R14's

I will be changing to ...

215/50R16's and 225/50R16's

If you look at a tire calc you will see that the size of the old and the new are almost exact! So I'll know they'll fit without issue.
