[68 4spd Fury]

Hi all. Just getting started here. Just purchased a 68 Sport Fury convertible, 383 4bbl, (H code), 4 speed trans. One question I have right away is about tires. It has 215/75-14's on it now but the original size is 225/75-14 but can't locate any except for Coker wide whitewalls. Any thoughts?

Welcome.......

14s are getting scarce. What's wrong with the Comer choice?

Not crazy about the 2 1/2 inch white walls. Would prefer none or maybe red lines.

Nice car.

 

[polara71]

Yeah2 1/2 " whites is wrong. That's all they have

Very cool car, and nice find. I would like to see underhood photos (and possibly fender tag?) if you have them. Thanks

Cool car. What's wrong with the 215 75 14's? I'll be forced to run those when the time comes for tires.

Turn them around. BWs look good w/magnums.

Gotta be a rare car too. Wonder what 1968 4 speed BB Convertible production total is?

 

[68 4spd Fury]

They are OK but the orginal size was a 225/75-14. The 215's don't seem to effect the speedometer though.

 

[68 4spd Fury]

Thanks.
