I am  looking for some information on the size of tire that I can put on my 
61  Rampside. I have a set of 15' X 7" Rally rims that I would like to use but 
I  am not sure of the tire size. Is anyone using such a combo now or have they 
 had any experience with a clearance problem on the Front or Rear. It was  
suggest that a 205 or 215 / 15 R70 will fit but not sure of the  7" wide  will 
rub, especially on the front   

Thanks for the  advice,

John,
I'm running P205/65R 15 tires on my Rampside and they clear front and back  
OK.  I think, in the future when I replace them, I'll go to one  size smaller 
because I think I have too much rubber on the road which  causes a slight bump 
steer.  The front fit is really very clear while the  rear is very close at 
the top of the fender.  The ride is really good  though.
