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

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: http://simpletire.com/nexen-sv820-tires |

OK. Thanks for the info. I'm ok if they are a little shorter. My tires now are 25.5 tall so was planning on some close to that.

In that case, Continental makes a nice 195/70r15 (25.7") that would be suitable for a bus. You could get them at a local tire shop.

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!

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. |

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.
