Title: Baywindow tire size Post by: edcraig on July 21, 2015, 18:17:17 pm Anyone have a tire size recommendation for a Baywindow bus? Looking at getting 15" wheels. The Bus will probably not be lowered. I was thinking a 195/65-15 or 205/65-15 with a load range of 94 or higher.
Thanks! Ed Title: Re: Baywindow tire size Post by: Zach Gomulka on July 21, 2015, 18:56:54 pm Taller than that for a stock height bus. These are about as close to stock as you can get in diameter without getting too wide and having fitment issues:

Title: Re: Baywindow tire size Post by: edcraig on July 22, 2015, 22:04:17 pm Anyone have any experience with 6 or 7" Fuchs or cookie cutters with adapters on a Baywindow bus. Years ago I has 14x5.5 with no issues but not sure if the 7's will fit with 205 or 216/65's.
Thanks! Title: Re: Baywindow tire size Post by: benssp on July 23, 2015, 10:12:52 am Hi Ed, this site really helps with tyre sizes
http://www.willtheyfit.com/ I've got 5.5x15 ET25 Sprintstars with a 5mm spacer & 195/65/15 tyres on my '69 and they are tight to the arch. If it's a late bus you'll have more room. Title: Re: Baywindow tire size Post by: edcraig on July 23, 2015, 18:36:14 pm Ok. Thanks for the help!
Title: Re: Baywindow tire size Post by: Fritz on July 27, 2015, 17:21:16 pm I run 7" cookies on the rear of my 69 bay, with 195/70 continentals, they are a fight fit, i have 5mm to the arch. This with redrilled drums and exessive camber due to it beeing lowered, so stock hight with that combo and adapters would probably hit the arch.
Title: Re: Baywindow tire size Post by: DKK TOD on July 28, 2015, 06:26:25 am Hi Ed,is your bay an early(5x205) or later(5x112)?...can make a difference in sizing and needed adapters...I've been down this road with my 71bay(slightly lowered) 8)
