Crager wheel and tire size

[bigdave33]

Looking to go a little day 2 on my 1969 L78 Camaro. Need some wheel and tire advice.
I want to run skinnier up front and biggest wheel and tire in rear. Thanks D

I'm running 15" x 8" rears with 4.25" Backspace and 275/60/15 Pro Tracs. About the biggest you can run while being on the edge of rubbing. They do fit nicely but will have to watch the hard turns into parking lots in case they rub when it twists the car (air shocks should help stiffen up the rear though). On the fronts I am running 15" x 4" wheels with Pro Trac 5.60.15 front runners. Great for straight lines and has just the look I was after. Being as they are bias ply these wheels will used for local cruise nights and things of that nature. If the car is ever headed for a longer journey I'll switch out another pair of wheels I have for highway trips.

I would suggest always run separate lines. With single lines if you make a sharp turn on a hillside the shock with the least amount of weight on it will fill with air, raise that side of the car and the other side with all the weight will go near flat. Similar to a long balloon you pinch

Also like brakes if one line gets a hole you won't lose both quarter panels if the tires are close or stick out.
