Can you fit 245/60/15 on 7 in police rims?

You can, but your really pushing the limits of the tire... Standard Police tires are 225 (if im correct) for the 7inch rims and they look fat enough as it is. You could look into getting 2 rims (just for the back Im guessing) widened to either 8 or 8.5inch? You'll get big tires, and depending on the offset you may get abit of dish Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yes was just talking to a mate deals in tyres, he said 235/60/15 would be ideal for the back and look tough from behind sounds good to me Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Marty, you may have seen this before but here's a direct quote from BertieStreet.com "As far as any modification as concerned, there werent any. The standard sender unit ( 63 litre) was used. It was calibrated to 63 litres, so it just showed 'full' until it reached the calibrated 63 litre level and would move as usual. Apart for the lengthened tank straps, it was pretty much and out & in job, then a quick flick of Matt black."
