    I'm getting ready to order some tires for my Cadillac. Just wondering what size tires you Cadillac guys are running? The car will be low but not "laying frame". No airbags. I would like the front low but don't want the tires rubbing on every turn. If you have a picture of your Cad that would be great.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    For what you want to do I would run 7.75's on front and 8.20's on back.. Pics of Caddy would also be nice...

    You didn't say whether you were going to run bias plys or radials...I run Diamondback whitewall radials-215 75R 15's on my '55...best highway tires you can buy....

    I was thinking about the bias ply look radials Coker sells. I'll get some pictures up later. Not much to look at. Sits way to high.

    I was considering 710 X 15 or 760 X 15 American classic radials. I'm just concerned they might be a bit small for the car. Anyone out there with pictures of their lowered Cadillac?
     
  7. Standard is a 8.00 x 15. I wouldn't go any smaller than that, so size it accordingly to the newer 75 series. I believe Coker stocks the radials to the old sizing.
