Re: Motion Tires
Copo
I personally like 14x6 with F-70-14 for the front but that is a personal preferance. The 15x6 on a '69 Camaro/Nova look to big. The wheels on the ralley green Camaro are 15x8 rear(reversed deep dish) and 14x6 front.
And actually many of the Motion cars used 14" on the front and 15" rear. Joel would run the factory 14" Firestones/Goodyears up front on 14x6 cragars and run 15x8 or 15x10 Cragars on the rear. This is how Mark Timken did his '70 B/M Camaro. Motion would use the factory front tire to just use them up and go to big meats out the back as any factory tire was worthless. Remember this is how it was done back then as these cars were street racers and the big and little look was what people wanted. Mismatched brand/size of tires from front to rear was the norm.
Again this is my preferance but I would run a good year F-70-14 on the front and a Pro-Trac L-60 on the rear. I think in one of the pics of a lineup of Motion '70 Camaros the fronts were Firestone wide ovals and the rears were M/T's.
Tom406, the backspacing for a 15x8 Cragar is 4 1/4. The wheels are tucked in more than a American TT.
Copo, you asked for wheel/tire opinions. You sure did get mine! That is what makes this hobby so great everybody wants a different look.
