Re: [Chrysler300] 61 300G Tire size

I think that was a fat-finger typo, and Dan meant 255/70R15 instead of 255/70/17. The R15 is about 29" total diameter.

Use this calculator to compare tire sizes:

255/70-R17 vs 235/75-R15 Tire Comparison - Tire Size Calculator | Tacoma World

235/75-R15 tires are 2.18 inches (55.3 mm) smaller in diameter than 255/70-R17 tires and the speedometer difference is 7.0%

Any thoughts on using a 255/70/17 instead of a 235/75/15 tire?

They are the same height (29") but have a tread width on 8.2" instead of 6.2" and section width of 10.2" instead of 9.1"

Thanks, Dan

Hi All,

I'm finishing my 300G - I have 15" wire wheels - question is what size wide white wall tire is best and what are the best options for these tires? Thanks, Dan

Another question for the experienced!

300G, Is there any way to view the engine ID numbers on AC cars without removing the compressor/brackets? Is there engine ID stamps anywhere else on the block?

Also is there any way you can move a power driver seat when the switch isn't working? I wouild like to move the seat back manually if possible.

Thanks for all the help so far.

Hi All,

Now that I've sold my 61 Corvette my 61 300G gets all the attention!

Questions

1. What width size whitewall did the 300G come with? I'm planning on buying Coker radials, The stock size was 8.00 - 15. Would that equate to 225 70R-15?

2. I also need to do the brakes from stem to stern. I was going to use NAPA for most of the parts. Comments? Recommendations? Has anyone used s/s brake lines from Good Brakes or Brake Hoses Unlimited on EBay?

Thanks,

Mike 300G Barn Find
