15x8.5 Minilites for 69 Camaro - what size rear tire

[aaronkl84corvett]

Anyone know what tires will fit?

I bought a set of Shelby MiniLite wheels that are 15x8.5 in the rear - and I'd like to run a reasonable tire that will not look stupid.

Any advice?

Thanks

275 x 60 fits on an 8.5" rim and looks great IMHO

I put a 275 60 15 tire on 8.5 inch rims on back of my 69 Z. They looked great, but were sooooooo close to rubbing, i was afraid of the tire hitting the wheel well when cornering hard. Never even drove it. Sold the tires and installed 255 60R 15. Still look good, and no danger of rubbing.
Mine is the car on the left.

Once again, mine is the car on the left.

Looks great, what size on the front?

Will look when I get home. I THINK 225 R70 15.

Fronts are 215 70R 15.
