Hi,

Is there anyone have 275/60/15 tire on the bird or camaro?? I thought the fat tire may looks better on the f-body

Joe

 

damn that is huge i've got 245/60/15's and they are bigger than most run on a thirdgen daily driver

 

before that i had 235/60/15's in my opinion those are the best size for the f-body

 

far to big. ill get u a pic if i can get ahold of a scanner. trust me though, it looks bad. a 245/60/15 is good.

 

These are 275/35/18, not too big, daily driven, and don't look bad.

 

dont have a pic but basically the biggest sidewall you can get on the 275/??/15 would be awesome. Love the look of a nice set of ET streets on just about any chevy!

 

I had 295/60/15 on the back of my camaro.

 

295/60/15!! what kind of rim do you use? any modify ? post some pic pls

 

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza RE730 P245/50ZR-16 Tires. Plenty wide and beefy for me And grip like a ****!

 

I used a stock z28 rim(I think its 15x7). no modification just put it on. But you need to be careful when you drive over anthing rough, and you also cant put much weight in the back ethier. for pics I dont have any of the tire its self, but click on my sig and you might see it a little.

 

so far i like 265/50R16's the best

 

295/35-18's Still a little small for the street...

 

 

Sorry can't seem to get the stuipid linking thing to work right!

 

guys hes not looking for a 275 tire on 9.5 inch wide 18's or 17's



read the post fellas

 

As you didn't say thirdgen here is my ol' 2nd gen on 275/60x15s on 8,5x15 rims on the back, 245/60x15 on 7x15 up front:

it is a beautful 2 gen, the wheel look like different ! what kind of tire they are? for drag racing ? I thought even the fat tire like 275/60/15 can looks like sporty !

 

I have them on my car but they rub pretty bad....

 

wow for some reason that really doesnt look right....

 

Thats Probebly cause of the tire shine makes it stand out more like it's sticking out under there but it doesn't

here is anouther view

 

I have 255/60/15's on my car and they are more than enough. They have plenty of clearance.
Check out the pictures on my exhaust page of my website.

what size rims do you have up front?

 

oh up front is a 15x7 with a 225/60-15 i didn't want to go to skinny cause then i lose my turing

 

hey do you have a back shot so we can see the width, and how it looks ?

 

?? I don't feel right !! I saw 255/60/15 on other cars but no 3gen, they look sporty, the pics I saw above are more like a truck tire ????

 

yeah i dont think third gens can pull off the fat back tire....while they are the closest thing to a muscle car from that generation theyre just too far away from it to pull it off.

 

i am looking at new tire and whell combos too.
What i have been looking at are the back spacing options , does any one know if it is true that if you bring the back spacing down it will move the location of the tire firther out from the car allowing you to mount a wider tire?

I am thinking of the Weld star drag wheels 15x10" but with the 3.5" back spacing insted of the stock 4.5".

And for rubber if i am planing only to use these tires for track use and mabe to get to and from the track what tires do you suggest i think the 295:60:15's sound nice and beefy,but is that too tall a tire to fit and does it mach up with stock wheel hight or is the spedo going to be off what about the 295:50:15?

i think that wide of a tire for road use only makes it look like you need it weather you do or not meaning it looks good and makes the car look faster

Thanks Guys,

i got 255/60/15

 

oh 4 got the pic

 

255 / 50 / 16's -

I got them on the back (stock rims), they look good !

 

Sure i will take one in the morning.

 

235/40/ZR18

 

here is the rear shot sorry the picture is darck and fuzzy my camara sucks

 

here's some more meat for ya.

 

Could you get a dead on side shot? I'm still not convinced that i like our cars with massive tires out back and smaller ones up front but yours looks the best so far.

 

Check out my website for more pics, there is a side shot there.

my dad has a set of 275/60/15 bfg drag radials on his 85 z28 and they look mean as crap. i am planning on running this tire.

 

i got 295/50/15 's on the back of mine...

 

does anyone know how wide you can go for the stock 15x7? Right now I have 16x8's but I'm trading them for 15x7's and I want a tall, wide rear tire for occasional drag racing. Thanks...:lala:

 

what tires are those?

 

my84bird for a 15x7 inch wheel i wouldnt go any bigger than a 235/60/15. you could physically put a bigger tire on there, but it will look stupid, and could possibly wear in the middle.

 

here is a newer side shot. i have changed the back rims though. they are 15x8 with a little more offset. the tires are too big for the wheels, and look a little dumb to me. but the rims are in much better shape.

 

Not my car, but I think it looks great.:hail:

 

P275/40/R17

 

Cool thanks for the ideas guys. I'll probably get 235's for the 15's. By the way, nice rides everyone!:hail:

 

what size rim do you have on the back, and did you have to use spacers? thats the same size tire I was thinking about running. looks TYTE!!!

Reddrocket, What rims do you have? those are SWEET!!!

that looks friggin mean ChevyKen! putting 295/60/15's on my 2nd gen this week, and moving the rear 235's to the front.. did yours rub the rear shocks? im fabbing my own rear lift kit out of plate steel for a bit of rear lift (ive always been a fan of a little height in the back)..

ill have 295/60/15's on rear 8" rims, and 235/60/15'2 on front 7" rims.. 2nd Gen camaro (77)

 

Heres mine 275 out back 235 up front

 

phew man that is TIGHT!! i doubt my 8" rims will leave space.. im pretty sure my 295 is gonna rub on shock my only hope is that lifting the rear will hopefully taper the shock away from the tire -

guess ill have to see - otherwise spaces and longer bolts requires - uh, not up for that mission!

 

Here's mine

L-60s live on!!!
