Tire Stencil?
 

I'm looking to stencil some tires for a 69 Camaro RS SS

How do you tell/determine what the stencil should say and does anyone make these?

Thanks SYC

Eddie,

I think our good man Rick (Mr. LS6) Nelson has done these before. Nice detail!

Thanks Sam. Eddie, you can determine what tire code they would be from a buildsheet. Since few Camaros have them you would need to ask around for the correct code as I only have the codes and stencils for the Chevelle. If you find the code it is fairly easy to make the stencil and I can supply you with a sample and/or photos of Chevelles but you get the idea. (Chevelle for example is L8DS 5) What kills it is the time it takes to paint them on the wheel and locate a good paint that will hold up. You can count on several hours per tire. I have posted this photo several times in the past so sorry to those who are tired of seeing it posted.

Rick and Sam - thanks for the info - ill have to check around with someone that has some paperwork to get the code...is there a set of codes somewhere or is the build sheet the only approach?

what is the yellow stripe for?

Found these via google...............
Build Sheet 1
Not SS or RS Sheet

Ed,
Here is a pic of an original tread stamp for the E70-15 tire for '69 Camaro.

Don't know for sure Ed, likely an code of some sort as I have seen various colors on other tires. I copied this off an original tire so I only replicated what I found. The ink goes all the way into the tread so it was stamped prior to the tire being blown into the mold.

Good subject guys [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Now I have a small project for this winter.
I will attempt doing my spare tire for my Chevelle.
I posted a photo of my code off my build sheet in the red square.
Mine reads L8DS 5, 5 is the quantity of tires but what L8DS means I would not know. I guess the stamp will be L8DS 1 as the single tire is 1 in quantity. Thanks Rick

Great info - thanks guys....ill contact Kurt S to see if any of his build sheets can give me the code I need.

mark, thanks for the pic....great help!

Broadcast sheets don't show tire codes like that - just size and type info.
