It's because they know people with big rims are willing to pay.........Or else they'd have to downsize, oh noez

Nice. I almost went 15x10's but changed my mind when I went to order.

I also agree that the 275's look a bit big on that car. I just wanted to prove my point that 245's were still available!

If I come visit some day, will you let me at least sit behind the wheel? I'd like to drive it of course, but I'd be happy just getting to sit in the driver's seat for a minute and make "vroom" noises.

You can drive it...but I wanna ride on the Duc.

Nice. I had the same tires on the 79. Can't remember if I had 255 rear and 245 front, or if I just went 245 all the way around. Either way, those tires just look right on that car.

Looks nice, too bad about the idiot at the DMV

I have 255/60-15 Pirelli's on all four corners of my '77. Only the slightest bit of rub at full lock.
