[DeTomaso] 15in rims, trying to fit tires front & back

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

No, the GTS sizes are 225/50-15 and 285/50-15 that should fit all narrow
body cars on appropriate rims. If someone was trying to mount 275/60-15
tires I assumed it was for 10" rear rims GTS style. GT5 cars use 285/40-15
front and 345/35-15 rear.

Actually, the Red owners handbook shows that for US Panteras from 71-74 the
fronts were 185/70 and then C60V15.

Rears were 215/70, 225/70 then H60V15.

So the original tire sizes were 70 series, not just 60 series. Quite a bit
taller than 50 series.

I think Thomas is referring to late model, maybe GT5 model tires?

Maybe Sue has a GT5, but I thought it was a stock body Ford program car.

275/60-15 would be too tall as well as the stock tires were 285/50-15.
