Im lookin to buy 15" ralleys for my 69'. I currently have 17" TTII which Im happy with the look but I would like to have a set of ralleys also.
Would like to see pics of ralleys, I happen to like a bit beefy lookin rear tire as well so I wouldnt mind havin to have the rears widened alittle.
Does anyone still run these wheels??

my profile pic shows my car with 15x7's all around. big ol' 275-60's on the back and 235-60's on the front. have since put the 235's on back and put 215-60's up front because i kept rubbing the back tires if anybody was in the back seat.

its hard to go back after dropping the chassis, tuning the suspension and popping the right size 17" wheels under a first gen camaro. Plus bigger wheels have less roll resistance and lower profile tires handle much better than 60 + series balloons.

I just pulled off my Rallys and put on some MB Old School 5 spokes and some Nitto Drag Radials. Im keeping my Rallies, I love the look also. They are going to be blasted and repainted. But I plan to drive on the new wheels mostly since they will perform so much better and put the Rallies on only for show. BTW My car was a 68 Dec build, I think in that time frame it came with 14s.

Not trying to hijack the thread but I have a question about tire width versus rim width.
I've got 15"x7" wheels. I see some people run a wider width tire in the rear than the front....some do this with wider rims in back and some without.

Is there some reason why you'd run a narrower tread in front than the rear (besides more rear end rubber on the road)?
I was planning to put 235's on the 15"x7"s all the way around, but is there any reason I should put 225's in front instead?

SS Sixty8
Oct 28th, 09, 10:39 AM
Ok figured it out
Still don't know how to put the big pic in the reply so feel free to tell me.

My 68 has 7" fronts and 8" rear by Wheel Vintique with their adjusted backspacing.

I'm back and forth on going to a 17" wheel but I still like this look.

I tried to go with 15x8 rallys with 235/60/15 Eagle GT IIs all the way around, but I had rubbing on the back of the wheel weel when I turned so I had to replace the fronts with 215/60/15 Radial T/A's on 15x7 rims.

I'm glad to see other people still have an interest in running ralleys on their Camaros.
The only thing my car is missing from it "appearing stock" are the ralleys thats why I wanted to see some different prospectives and you guys are all a big help. Def would say that I like the 15X8 look in the rears.
What is the biggest tire you can run on the 15X7 in the rear without looking too idiotic? I know a few of you have PM me about purchasing some and I appreciate it, I just need to decide 15x7 or 15x8.

I would say 255/60/15.

When I put rallyes on my nova project I had some old 255/60/15's that I took off of my 8" rallyes on my 67. I put them on it and they look just as good on the 7" as the 8" rim to me.

I've got 235/60's with GW 2" drop coils in the front. Because I'm running 5* caster I had a slight rub on the pass side wheelwell (rear) that a buttonhead bolt cured.

It's a preference thing Joe... Yes, arguably a traction issue, but really it's about look and stance. What were you planning on, 235 x 60's?

- Wheels: 15X7 with 4" bs up front, 15X8 with 4.5" bs in the back
- Tires: 215/65/R15 up front, 245/60/R15 in the back
I would not go any bigger up front... you should be able to get a 255/60/R15 in the rear but don't rule out rolling the fender lips. These specs will keep your tires just inside the lips with everything exactly as it left the factory (drum brakes and all). Check out my profile for more info.

Its possible they are 7s. I've never had the tires off the rims. The previous owner told me they were 6".

Dusk,

I am running 15 x 7s all the way around. Have 235/60s on rear and 215/65s on front.

Got the car this year and not sure about the suspension it has. Springs may be weak. I don't like the stance. I plan to install Hotchkis TVS this winter and likely go to 205/60s on front (at least those look good on my '67).

Oh yeah, my '69 is Dusk Blue. :yes:
