Anyone know how wide of a tire can go on a 7" wheel? Is a 245 too wide?

Also, 8" and 10" wheel.

Thanks!

I guess the rule of thumb is, rim with and add 2 inches ie. 7 inche rims can take up to 9 inch tires. If you want a good stance to it try 235/60 15s front 275/60 15s rear. and yess you can fit a 10 inch rim under a 72 Torino, Ranchero all the way to 79.
