Tire and Rim Size
#1
I know this has been talked about before but would anyone have any reservations to running this on a '68 Coronet? The owner claims it is all stock and works just fine.

Quote:front 215/65/15 rear 295/50/15 front 15x7 rear 15x8 Yes Stock ride height; hotchkis Front/Rear Sway bars; QA1 Tubular Arms; Adjustable Gas Shocks; and Power Disc Brakes all 4 corners

And secondly does anyone make left handed lug nuts for the Magnum 500 Wheels?

I have chrome LH lug nuts on both my cars with Magnum 500s. (Driver side only) I bought them re-popped, but it's been so long I forgot where. They ARE out there.

295's fit just fine on a '69 Coronet. Of course I didn't just guess at this, I spent hours measuring and studying the tire & wheel specs prior to purchase.
