That tire is going to have way too much sidewall for your Camaro. If I'm not mistaken, it might even be a truck tire. Anyway, we'll want to see the wheels when you get them.

77 Bird, that explains it. Wow, they look in really good shape. Should look sharp on your car.

I got my rims today!!!!! The good news is the tires are smaller than they stated in the auction. 225 70 r15's instead of 225 75 r15's. I was worried about the tires rubbing but they turned out to be perfect. Here are some pics. Tell me what you think.

Looks really good. They give your car a classic muscle car look. Good buy.
