I just bought a 67 camaro that I will be putting in a crate 502 with a 700R4. The problem is what size tires fit the front and rear? I want 17x7 in the front and 17x9.5 in the rear but what back spacing? I dont want any tire rubbing at all.

Also, give me links to your car pictures so I can see the tire/wheel combo.

Thanks.

Hey i just put up a few posts of tire and rim size as well. I am not going as radical as you are - 17's would look great though.

I have 15 x 7 rims with P23560R15 on the front and rear right now. Here is a link that will show that layout.

The look is good and the car has a nice stance but I want to fill the back wheel well more.

I am going to order 15x8 rallys with a 4 or 4.5 backspace and mount P25560R15 on them.

Send me a pic of your layout when you get it done. Going to 17's might be down the road for me as well.

Later,
John
