1967 camaro rally rim help please
I have a 1967 camaro that was purchased new by my family at the local dealer late 1966. We have owned since. It came with drum breaks front and back. About 25 years ago it was decided that front disc breaks would be safer for the front and drums were changed out for disc. At that time it got cleaned up painted and they decided to change the steel rims to rally rims. I believe original rims were put on but they were not able to find 4 the same. So they went with smaller in front and larger in the rear. I think they are 14 rims.
I really would like to know what size rims are on there hopefully by giving you guys the tire size. and
MOST IMPORTANTLY if I can run 14X5 rally rims around on all four corners. Will the 14X5 work with now disc brakes in the front. I want to be able to rotate the tires. The car is rarely driven has 101500 original miles on it.
ON the front on full rotation of the steering wheel there can be a little rubbing on frame and sway bar , also I am a bit worried because the tires are very close to the end of the ti-rod on the steering linkage, you cant even get your pinky finger between the tire and ti-rod end.
Front tires are goodyear p205/70r14
rear tires are goodyear p235/60r14
I believe they are 14 inch rims but what would the width be running these tires?
Can I run 14X5 rally rims ok with disc brakes in the front? Or do I need 14X6 rally rims. Could 14X6 already be on the front with a 205/70r14 goodyear tire??
Thank you for any help or advise that can be given. This is our family treasure and want it fully correct after all these years

Based on the tire sizes on there now, can you tell me what size rims might be on there now?

I believe all GM calipers require 15" wheels. Do you know if the calipers are what would have come on the 67 or are they what would come on the 68 ups? In 67 the Camaro calipers where converted from the corvette. To get all the right parts for this convertion can get pricy.
There are many many wheels out there from GM there is no way we can tell you what you have. Any tire place should have a tool to measure your rims.
