what backspacing should I use for 16x7 rims on an 84 Camaro z28?

 

Why so narrow?

3.75"

 

street strip car. 3.75 will keep it tucked and not stickout?

 

Will be stock.

 

^yup^

 

they don't carry the size rim I want in 16 would backspacing be the same for a 15x7? and what size tire would look nice on them? I have 15x8 on back with 275/60 15 m&h slicks

 

I like 235/60r15s on the front 7in wheel I have with 3.75bs. 255/60r15 on the rear on a 8in wheel with a 3.75bs.
The 235/60r15 is 26 in Diameter
The 245/60r15 is 26.6in Diameter
The 255/60r15 is 27in Diameter
The 275/60r15 is 28 in Diameter


I guess it depends on how much rake you want. Either a 235 or 245 will fit a 7in wheel.
I run the combo at the top giving me a 1in lift in the rear.
A ton of 235/60r15 photos in here with 3.75bs front and back.

id like to do the 205 size tire. what size sidewall would look good with that?

 

in order to have a 26" tire on the front in that size you would have to run a 205/70R15.

Why not run 215's up front instead? that's the stock size for a 15x7.

 

I could I just have the 205 tires on my old rims now. if run 215 I would still run a 70 series tire?

 

What wheels do you have now?

No, that would be too tall with a 215. You'd run a 215/65R15's (on a 15x7). I run those up front with 275's in the back(on a 15x8). love the way it looks.

 

outlaw 2 wheels. I have 275/60/15 on 15x8 on rear.
