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.

Nice Camaro. I gotta say ii always loved the look of Cragars on these cars.....

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

How about those torque thrusts that billd has in the for sale section. Would be a great look!

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]

I bought a new 69 with L78 engine with 410 gears, only problem with polyglas they would never hook up in 1st!Since your car appears stock I would go original 14 in ss wheels.

SS Cragars... You can fit a 295-50 15 with a 5.5 B/S 10&quot; rear and a 235-60 15 8&quot; front SS Cragar...Or a redstripe on the Ralleys you have already.

cheers Dave

Well she looks stock but can ROCK as it made 450hp/530tq on the dyno with qjet &amp; cast iron intake and a weenie cam (albeit with headers) Its a 454
