I am either going to buy Cragar SS (the original style) or American Torque Thrust I or II's for my 1970 Camaro. What would be a reasonable size wheel for the Camaro? After I get the wheels set, I am going to need tires. I REALLY like the Wide -- o -- ovals but since I have never done a wheel tire combo, I have no clue what size will fit the Camaro. If someone could explain -- I would be grateful!

Dan, I've had (3) 2nd. gen camaro's and I used 7" Cragars on the front and 8" on the rear. I also used GoodYear F-60-15 polyglass tire, the 70 series looked too tall and skinny. If you do use the Torque Thrust Wheels I used the chrome wheels versus the polished, the polished are too much work. Dan the 16" or 17" Torque Thrust Wheels also look good if the car is modified. I would only use Redlines on a '69 or older. Just my opinions, Mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
