Default Re: What size Torque Thursts and tires on '68 Camaro??

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 92646</div><div class="ubbcode-body">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. </div></div>

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..........
