I need Help!
I have a 1980 Camaro that i want to put ET Streets on the back but i don't know what size.
I have been told that i can fit 12.5x28-15 on a 10in. rim on the back without it rubbing at all and i was wondering if this is true? or will i have to put Air Shocks and Drag Bags in it to keep it from rubbing.
If You have any suggestions on tire size please tell. I am going for an Aggressive Street/Strip Look!

 

Here's a chart that will provide some guidance. I'd be surprised if you get anything wider than 10" tucked without rubbing, and I believe you would need to roll the inner fender lip at that.

 

Thank You man this helps a bunch!
this just goes to show the guy that told me i can fit a 12in. wide tire in the back without mods is a liar!!

 

The biggest tire/wheel combo we could fit on my '80 Z28 was a 275/60/15 tire on a 15x8 inch wheel with zero backspacing. I don't think there is really any more room for anything bigger without relocating some things.

 

I have a buddy who ran 12" width on a '77 with no body mods (back in the day), but it was jacked up high with air shocks. :-O

DISCLAIMER: This was on my '69. :-) I ran 17x8's on the front with 4.75 offset and 17x9.5's on the rear with 5.5 offset. I might could've got a 10" wheel in there, but it would have been real tight. There's a guy on this site (Red70Camaro) that I believe is running that same combination on his '72.



I'm actively lookin to replace it with a 70-72 RS.

Spend some time searching the archives and I bet you'll find someone with an '80 model that lists their diameter, width and offset.

 

Men around these parts laugh at your girly list.

 

I'll see your lime third gen and raise you a lemon first gen...

 

roflmao~!

 

Sorry to get off topic but that is one sweet ride, randy. I also like the way you took the picture. The tire combo is sweet....

 

Thanks, it was a fun ride. I'm hoping to find a good 70-72 to replace it.
