I have a 69 camaro with disc brakes up front and drums on the rear. It also has mono leaf rear springs. What I am wondering is if this combo of cragar ss mags and tires will work on my car without rubbing and clearance issues. The fronts are 15 x 7 w/3.25 bs and P215/70R-15 tires and the rears are 15 x 10 w/3.75 bs and P275/60R-15 tires. Thanks.:confused:

Fronts will probably work, but no way the rear will fit. The ideal backspacing for the rear is 4.75". Even with the correct backspacing, I doubt you can get a 10" rim to fit unless your car sits high in the rear. It will most likely rub the outer qtr lip.

I've got 275/60r15 on Cragars w/ 4.25 backspacing and it doesn't rub, but mine sits a little high. Any lower and it will rub.
