Wanting advice on wheels & tires for the 69

[92646]

It looks like you have the tire stance figured out with the radial TAs. Put a set of 15" SS wheels in place of your rallys on your existing tires for the drivers and sell the rally wheels to offset the expense. The 15" SS wheels can be found at Summit or Jegs then invest in a date coded set of restored YA wheels with the right tires for the car shows. Or for fun put a a set of 15x7 TTO Torq thrusts on it and keep the 14" wheels for the car shows. Look at the pictures of Albert's ZL1 Chevelle with the TTOs.

Some good advice here on what you can expect with the bias ply's. My Camaro is not the same since I put on the Goodyear's, but it looks cool [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img].
Where I miss the radial's the most is when I get up on the freeway.
As far as the wheels, the SS wheels were made for that car.

Looks good with Cragars though these wheels are Rocket. This car has a nice stance

Those front runners were only on the car for a short time when I took it to MCAAN the year before last, usually has the Goodyear redlines are on it.
And yes the Cragers are cool too.

A nice clean restored 69 SS like yours will look awesome finished with what they came with, 14&quot; SS rims with the poly glas tires.
I have poly glas tires on my 70 and they are not as bad as everyone makes them out to be. Just keep your hand on the steering wheel and you will be fine [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] This is how it would look [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]
