Nice! What size? They look skinny! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

15x4.5 for the front 15x8 rears.

I ordered the rears with 5 3/8&quot; backspacing to fit a 275/60/15 radial

Going to run a 205/70/15 on the front.

Got the rears mounted today, front's later this week. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/usergals/2013/04/full-5559-4505-img_20130428_00465.jpg

Cool wheels! Why is one a uni-lug and the other a standard pattern?

[Newman]

Just because the rears were a custom order offset and they asked me what bolt pattern. The fronts were off the shelf unilugs

[PxTx]

Those rears look great. Are the straight lugs acorn or shouldered lugs?

[Newman]

Rears are acorn. Here's a pic of the fronts but I went too tall on my front tires and they're catching slightly on the bottom fender bolt when I turn. Grrr! I'll add some better pics on a nice day. Any suggestions on a different size for the fronts? These are 205/70/15s and as I mentioned seem to be too tall.

Use different bolts, and keep the tires - they look good!

[Salvatore]

same thing happens on the 69 camaros. I used a couple beveled machine screws.

We never had to worry about this fender bolt rubbing in my part of the country back in the 70's..they were usually rotted off from salt. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Wow...Changed the whole car! Looks sweet <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif


BIG

Don't think I can run the 205/70/15s, they're catching on inner fender bottoms when turning. What do you guys recommend? I'm thinking 195/60/15 or 205/60/15 ??? Thoughts? I never would have imagined this to be an issue with the 205/70s but I don't see a way around it.

Why don't you just raise the front an inch or so..it would look good.

[Newman]

tried on some loaner 195/65/15s and they fit great no rubbing and look great. Just have to decide what kind to order. Can't get them in BFG Radial TAs. Any suggestions on a decent looking brand (nothing too busy)?
