Front Tire Size on a 69 Camaro
 
Does anyone know if a P235 60R15 will fit on the front of a stock 69 Z. Running Torque Thrust 15 x7's

Thanks

My sister runs 235 60 on a stock 15x7 ralley up front with a 255 60 out back, also on stock 15x7 ralley. Car is a mildly modded LM1 car. Never had an issue with wheel rub. I'll look for a pic.

Put the 235's on all corners seems to be fine.

Here are two shots of the Camaro. 235/60 15 up front and 255/60 15 out back. Standard 15x7 wheels. You probably will hook better with the 255 out back. Stock suspension, and full wheel well lips. No issue at all, front or back. Car has power steering.

Happened to have a good side view of the tires with my wife taking it to a car show.

I use to run the 235's and the 255's on my 68....I always said the 255's were good for holding air. Traction was bad, real bad....always seemed to be a bit too stiff of a tire.

Bigger...L-60 Mickey's. These would get so soft the center tread would come off in chunks. God, I beat the hell out of that poor car.

Mike that is good info. I am thinking about running that staggered look on my Gold car. Do you have any pics?

Thanks
