Default Tire size on a 76 Camaro LT

1976 Camaro - currently has 195/65/14. Has a 10 bolt posi trac with 3.73 gears and a stroker engine.

Also has traction/slapper bars in the rear under the leaf springs.


I want to go with some 15 inch wheels - 15X8. Any suggestions on the correct back spacing on the wheels and a good tire size?

I had 255/60/15's on the back of my 1977 with 15x7 wheels and 4.25" backspacing.
For an 8" wide wheel, I would go with at least 4.5" backspacing.

For the front tires, 235/60/15's may be the biggest you could go.

A stroker with 3.73 gears, 195s, and a posi?

How fun is THAT to whip around? Jebus

I guess drifting isn't everything
