my svo needs tires and i have a good set of 225/60/16 from my turbo coupe sitting in my garage,my question is will these tires clear on a stock 84 SVO?

I have ran 225/60/16 tire on my Svo for several years (Ford replaced tons of them on warranty on MarkVIII's they told us to mutilate and scrap the old tires which usually took about 20k miles.then I would scrap them). They will rub the plastic splash shields under the front fenders occasionally. You will also need to replace your speedometer driven gear (that's the one one the end of the cable) with one with one less tooth to correct the speedometer.
