Hello,
I just bought another Torino to add to the collection and need wheel and tire size recommendation. Its a 1971 Torino GT. I am going with 15 Magnum 500s all the way around. 15x7 and 15x8 with 4.5 back spacing or go a different direction? Also whats the best tire combo to run? Ill be using BFG white later tires. Thanks, Mike

You'd want to run 4.25" backspacing on the 15x7 wheels. The 4.5" backspacing should be fine on 15x8s. For the 15x7's 225/60-15, 225/70-156, 235/60-15s or 245/60-15s would work. The 15x8's you could run 245/60-15s, 255/60-15s and 275/60-15s. You will have to check with a 1970-71 guys on the clearances for those tire sizes. I can only speak on what are good sizes to run on the rims. Any of those would fit a 1972 and newer, but not sure on the 1970-71.
