I have 4 225/70/15 tires on my 1972 coupe. The rear tires are new BF Goodrich TA's and the front are older Eagle GT II's with about 5/32 tread remaining. The back of the left front tire rubs one of the bolt heads on the rear of the wheel well liner when turned full lock to the left. I took the bolt out today and ground down the head and polished it. There is plenty of clearance now and a new tire shouldn't rub the bolt head. The passenger tire has a different issue. When turning full lock to the right the rear tire rubs the back of the inner wheel well liner. This only happens on full turns to the right and I am not sure if I put new tires on if anything would get damaged. I looked underneath the car and saw that the rear liner has two bolts securing it to a piece of metal secured I believe the rocker panel. Does anyone know if the wheel well liner can be adjusted so that I can move it back 1/4 - 1/2". Otherwise maybe I will just replace the front tires with 215/70/15 BF Goodrich TA's. Thank you.

 

Thanks for the reply. The car came with 225/70/15 tires on it so the rub probably isn't bad. I only hear it occasionally when turning hard to the right when driving slow. My tires in the front have 5-6/32 tread remaining and I wanted to replace them to match my new rear BF Goodrich Radial TA's. I am not sure if I should just go down a size to 215/70/15 or put the same size tire on and see how it fits. It's possible the BF Goodrich Radial TA might fit slightly different from the Eagle GT II that they will replace.
