52 Hollywood tires

I'm trying to determine the correct tires to put on my car. Some say Kelsey 760.15, which I believe to be correct for Hornets, and Commadores.



Some say they can be troublesome.



Are they too large for wheel well, or in trunk well ???



In the Kelsey catalog they show 760.15, with 2 3/4 ww, but not 4".

Being raidials they may be larger than than the originals.



Any thoughts'

    Your should have the 5x1/2 inch rims on that model. Factory tires were 760x15. Radials use P225/75Rx15. Walt.

    Chuck is restoring his car to 100% original and he wants to know the difference between the 7.10/15 and the 7.60/15 and the correct wide whitewall tire. I'm not sure,but I think his rims are 5", just not sure. He also would like a picture of the correct hubcap for a '52 Hornet. This car was featured in a magazine in the early 70's. Chuck has owned it for the last 30 and is now finishing the resto. Any help would be appreciated.:cool:
