if i get a 255/60-15 tire on a 15x8 inch rim with a 3.75 inch back spacing..will they stick out of my fenders? if they will, im gonna have to settle for the 15x7 with a 3.75 inch back spacing! (this is for the rear only..front will have 245/60-15)

 

whether it fits or not, it's going to look like a 4x4 with tires that tall. That's got to be at least a 27" tall tire.

 

yea its 27 inches tall..but i have seen a few members on this site have those tires, and they looked great..but i dont want em stickin out..will look silly

 

i have them on a 7 inch stock Z28 rim and they look fine

 

get the 255's for the rear and go with like 225 or 235 for the fronts. i got 215's up front and also all my tires are a 60 profile.

that pics not the best but its the newest one i have, hopefully tomarrow will be better weather

 

dont forget to change your speedo gears

 

I hate the look of a real tall tire on a camaro. I like the way my 245/50/16s look on my 16x8s.

On my stock rims I had 235/60/15 It looked so stupid IMO.

255s will fit on a 8'' rim easily...I know guys running 255s on 7'' wide rims.

Also know a guy running 295s on a 8'' rim

 

88camaro350,
If you don't have/can't afford 16 inch wheels, you need a 60 series tire. A 50 series on a 15 inch wheel looks ridiculous, I know, my car had 215/50/15s on the front when I bought it. Now it has 235/60/15s on the front, much better looking.

 

Ditch the 235's! they look funny!

 

man, where where you guys when i got my tires!! i could of gotten bigger ones... i have 215 hr 60 15 BFG Comp TA... Next time i get tires i might go with 16 iroc rims or i might spring for some big rims and get the 18 in irocs!!

A friend of mine runs 265/50/15's on the back of his 84 Z with factory wheels.

 

Im runnin 255x60x15 in the rear 225x60x15 up front. 15x7" Rim.

 

I used to run 235/60R15 in the front and 255/60R15 in the back. I think I might even have a pic of those tires on it.

 

Old thread but hey might as well...

I run 215/65/15 on front with 295/50/15 on the rears on 15x8 5 slot Anson rims.

 

5.5 BS for the rear tires is the norm.. A 10.5" wide slick will fit in the stock wheel house.
