I’m running Maxilite 7R rear rims with 20mm spacers so I’m not sure if I could run a 205/70 without having an issue with rubbing on a stock ‘71E. I don’t plan to do any body work (roll or flare the rear fenders) so I’m wondering if I can fit these tires without body mods with my current rims / spacers.

Any advice would be appreciated.

It depends if you want to use inner tubes or not.

Without tube - 215/60 R15

With tube - 205/70 R15 (yes, a bit tall but they should fit in the rear OK)


Here is a pic of 185/70 R15 and 205/70 R15
