Tire Fitment w/1" drop

Its a 92 Camaro with a 1" drop, I have a set of 15" AR wheels that I want to put on, I seen a pic of someone with the same wheels with 235/60/15 tires all around and they looked good, does anyone know if this tire size will fit good with a 1" drop? I also believe the backspacing on the wheels is 3.75 if that makes a differance or not.

Re: Tire Fitment w/1" drop

The backspacing is meaningless with the wheels width. So long as the tire is 25.7 tallish it will be fine, don't go taller in the front.

As for the BS, it doesn't seem to me that they will work, but if you get me the width of the wheel I will know for sure

Stock 15x7 has something around 4 so that should be ok

Re: Tire Fitment w/1" drop

the rear pbr brakes were the standard disc brake after 88 or so. They should fit in the 15" wheel, but it also depends on the design of the wheel.
