Currently my 81 245 GLT wagon has the 15' virgo alum. wheels with 185 65 15's on them and i was wondering if it was possible for me to fit 195's or 205's on there. Any feedback on this would be greatly appriated.

I am running 205/50's in the front with 225/50's in the rear on 15" rims. No worries at all...

On my 85 244 I've got F205.60.15, R215.60.15

On my 79 745 I've got 215.70.15's all the way around. Other than looking like they fill up the whole fender well, I've had no problems.

Hey Mark,

The actual stock size for your car is a 195/60R15. That is what I currently run on my 245, and I have had 215/55R15 on a previous brick without any problems.

Happy Bricking!!!

No, the tires will be closer in the rear than the front.
205-60-15s will work fine, though.
