Those are, by far, the largest back tires I've ever seen on a Camaro.

MW66NOVA I have not raced with those tires yet.But I have slicks for that.Cant race much cops are bad.Someone told me if I drop the psi down to 10 I will hook pretty good.By the way the tires are 29 by 12.5.I had 28 by 13.5 E T streets on it before.

i doubt that you will get good traction with those tires. they are the M/T sportsman right? (or comparable) but the slicks will work well. although i think that 13.5's would stick out a little too much for me. i am going with a 28x10.5 on my car.

the biggest radials i have seen (sportsmans are bias-ply for those who don't know) are BFG Drag Radial 345/60's. they are fricken huge. i was going to buy a set that were used for $100, and they still had 3/4 tread!

What size are those Pro Stars you've got under there (front and rear)? What backspacing? Any problems with the bumpstop out back? Are your rears sticking out at all, or do they tuck under the fenders nice?

Later,
Harry

The rims are 10 by 15 in the back with a 4 1/2 backspacing I think.The rims up front are 15 by 4 1/2 front runner rims .



Nova with my power I probaly will not hook up anyway.If sommeone wants a race the slicks go on.

You could probably fix that with an adjustable panhard rod out back though couldn't you?
