They will fit fine. go with 255/60/15 on the rear. that should be the biggest you will be able to run. its whats on mine.

I have a 68 camaro and I have autodrag wheels 15 by 6 up front with 205's and 15 by 8 in the rear 15 inch rims with 265's in the rear. My car is on the higher side and the tires are right in line with the fender but i have about 1.5 inches of clearance so rubbing isnt a problem for me.

I dont have any pictures on the computer right now, but I will send them to your email when I get them up there, hopefully within about a week, but don't count solely on me. I dont know about the backspacing for my car.

Aloha from Hawaii and welcome, Can you send all the car info VIN and cowl tag info and post it on the Tag Team section so it can be added to the Camaro Research Group Data Base if it isnt already listed. Also where was it Put together (factory)?
