Just some pics of measurements of these tires for the curious. Tape measures don't lie  . These are the Continental 145/65 R15's sold by TireRack .

I pulled this from another forum, curious what people have to say
Will these fit 4"ers? Rub headlight buckets on '66 with 5-6" beam? |

they're perfect on stock 4-4.5. i think they're a little narrow for 5s or bigger.
about an inch shorter than 135s.
run drop spindles and set your height where they dont rub.
i used to run 195/50s on smoothies(almost same height alot wider) without drop spindles with no rub. front apron was about 3-4" from the ground.
drop spindles will keep them a little farther from the bucket too. |
