What size Torque Thursts and tires on '68 Camaro??

[92646]

You might need to ask Jeff to confirm the tire sizes on the Camaro but the wheels were 15x7. The rear tires were P245/60/15 and I think the fronts were either P215/65/15 or P225/65/15 but I would have gone with a little taller tire. The T70R has the right offset for the early Camaros and the D-spokes are close also. I ran P225/60/15 on 15X7 TTOs on the front of a 69 Camaro before and ended up with a bunch of rubbing and had to polish the early calipers to clear the back of the spokes.

That car looks awesome........What is a &quot;T70R&quot;??? I'm assuming that's a different version of the Torque Thrust?? I'm assuming that the offset is pulled in more than a regular Torque Thrust??

This is a friend of mine's car below.......It's got 15X7 wheels on front and back........with 205-65-15's on front and 225-70-15's on back........I like the rear, but the front needs to be taller IMHO, but he says that he's had taller tires on it and they rub at the back of the wheel opening, so I'm gun shy of trying anything taller/wider so that's why I'm here, hoping someone has a narrower wheel or different offset on the front which will allow a taller tire..........

Back in the day, I had a 68 Z28 and put TT's on it that were 15 by 7 with F70's and they rubbed on the front. Dropped back to E70's and they still hit the bright aluminum trim around the front opening. I notched it at the top and no further problem. Back was not a problem with the F70's.

The T70R is a American 5-spoke that was made for a short period of time then reproduced recently. It has a little bit of a flange on the edge of the spokes and it has more offset to the inside than the TTO 5-spokes.

OK........I'll look into a set of those.....It appears that offsetting the wheel in some will help tire clearance at the back edge of the wheelwell......

You could try 15x6 on it,that is what worked back in the day. *Paul

From the looking I've done, it appears that Torque Thrusts only come in 4.5&quot; or 7&quot; in light grey or 5&quot; or 7&quot; in dark grey......and the T70R is only available in 7&quot;...........
