What size tires are these?

Hi all,

I saw a picture of this Camaro on Wikipedia... Here's the link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:C...iew-sstvwf.JPG

I was wondering, what size tires are those?? Those look really nice and I want to do the same thing to my car.

---EDIT: I'm interested in how wide the tires look.

Thanks

Hmm. Its hard to see how wide the tires are in that pic. I loaded it up into photoshop and messed around with the brightness and contrast so I could see the tires better, and they appear to be stock sized, just sticking out a bit. Maybe spacers on all 4, or a 4th gen rear and spacers in the front? Hard to tell. Maybe the fronts are stock now that I look at it again...

You might try emailing the owner. His information is listed on that site.

You can get 235/60/15 in the front and 255/60/15 in the rear and it will look similar to that except better because the rear tire is actually that wide to the body without the spacer. Looks amazing from behind. Sorry these couldnt be better they were stills taken from a video. I'll look for a better picture of just the tire profile, but I'm sure you get the idea anyhow.

Anyone? And can I purchase spacers at a store? I'd prefer not to order online.

I contacted the owner and it turns out that he's not the actual owner, so that's a dead end.

Don't screw around with spacers, the slip on kind are not safe in anything past a 1/4" and you can't get a bolt on spacer in less than 1". On top of that bolt on spacers cost as much as a cheap set of wider 15" wheels.
