Hello Danny,
Are you thinking of running the P215/70R/15 Radial T/A tires on all four corners, or just on the front? I think that size is fine for the front, but might be a bit narrow for the rear for me.
On my 1966 Coronet 500, I'm currently running a set of the P185/60R/15 B.F.G. (radial) Traction T/A tires with 15x4 Weld Draglite wheels on the front and a set of the P235/60R/15 B.F.G. Radial T/A tires with 15x7 Weld Draglite wheels on the rear. The only issue with running different sized wheels and tires front and rear, is that you can't rotate the tires, but my car doesn't get driven much, so it's not a big deal for me, but that might be very important for you.

The pictures below show my car back in 1991 and 1992 after I had finished it's restoration. At that time I was running P235/60R/15 B.F.G. Radial T/A tires with 15x7 American Racing Champ 500 wheels on all four corners and had no issues front or rear.

Alright... it's done!
It's like a whole new car.
I replaced those bias-ply tires with a new set of radials... and installed new wheels with correct backspacing.
Could not be happier with the results and the way it handles.
Thanks again for the advice... I really appreciate it.
Here he is... all cleaned up for a show Cops & Rodders this past weekend.

Hello Danny,
I agree with Andy, your Coronet looks fantastic with the new wheels and tires and I'm so happy to hear that you're happy with them!
