I'm in the process of refurbishing my "barn Find" 1968 Volvo 122S wagon and it does need new tires.
Since the car has it's original 4.56 rear end ratio, I do not want to down size to a lower profile tire. Looking through the manuals, it originally came with 6.40-15 bias tires. A good upgrade with approx the same overall diameter would be a 185R15 or a 195/75R15. Since a tire of this size are either too expensive or no longer available, has anyone mounted a 205/70R15 tire on their 122 wagon ? Will they fit and clear the inner fenders ?
