Howdy....

Well time to buy new tires for my 84 Z28. I have some centerline rims on right now but am thinking about going back to the stock rim....either way the rims will be 15"

What size of tire can I use and what looks nice. I of course want a slightly more aggressive look than just stock.

I have heard 255/60/15's....anybody got pics?

 

Don't go bigger than 235/60/15, well I guess thats just my opinion. A bigger tire is only better on a bigger rim.

 

235/60 all the way around will probably be best. 255's are usually a bit much on the front. I used to run 245/60R15 back when I had 15's. They rubbed when turned all the way left or right. It's not a very good picture:

 

i have 235/60R15s on the front and 255/60R15s on the back. i had 235/60R15s on the back before, but i wanted a wider and taller tire on the back. i am sorry i dont have any pictures right now. my cousin runs a tire shop and the 255 width is the largest that can fit on 7" wide rim (at least in the 60 series). i use Kelly Chargers. i like the raised white lettering that is on them.

 

My borther has 265/50/15 Goodyear Gatorbacks on 7" rim on the rear of his Firebird. They are wide and really mean.

 

I'm running 265/50/15s on the back and 215/60/15s on front. They're BF Goodrich Radial TAs. These are the best pics I could find. You can only tell so much from these shots but in real life they look pretty wide.

 

do you have anymore pics of that exhaust setup, No4NJunk? looks liek ground clearance may be tight, how you found it too be?

 

i run 245/50 15 on a centerline convo pro............course i only have 2 tires to chose from the euro ta from bfg and the dunlop sport 8000..............i have the euros now.........as far as tread wear goes they last a real real long time but they arent very good in the turns..........gonna try the dunlops next which i heard is a better tire

 

darbleinad,
Sorry but I won't have anymore pics until this weekend. Believe it or not ground clearance is not a problem. I have not scraped once since have it put on. I have air shocks in the back to help with that. If only I had a way to let you here it.

 

My tires were so dried and worn out on the side walls I figured I'd better pick up some wheels soon. I got a set of 15 x 9's American Racing Stics 5. I rounded them out with 235/50r/15's.

Here's the link. I'll post some pics later.
