I am wanting to upgrade the tire and wheels on a 1969 Camaro I just bought. It is an SS car which currently has 14" Rallys with BFG tires. I want to go with the reproduction 15" SS reproduction wheels with the BFG Radial T/A,S. Can anyone recommend a size tire combo? Maybe a little smaller in front. Thanks
I'm running 15x7 repro rallys with the 4.5" BS with 235-60R15 tyres on my '69 right now. Fronts rub the frame a bit at full lock if I corner at speed, but no issues other than that. If I were to do it over, I'd get 15x8 with 4.5" BS for the rear and 15x7 with 4.25" BS for the front as this would let you fit a bit bigger tyre in the back and give a bit more clearance up front. With that setup, you shuld be able to fit something like a 235 up front and a 255 rear with no problem.
