'68 Camaro Cragar SS Question
 

Finally put my wheels up for sale on my Camaro (16" AR TT's) and have a few guys interested so I need to pull the trigger on some new 15" Cragars so I need some help. I want to go 14x7 fronts and 15x10 rears but wasn't sure what offset will be acceptable with either 295/50/R15's or 325/50/R15's?

Would a 4.5" offset be OK? Obviously with the 15x10's I want the deep dish look but I'd rather not have the tires sticking way, way out (some is OK, but I don't want them way out there).

Anyone have any advice for me? Thanks.

I have another NOS set of 14x6 and 15x10's

Re: '68 Camaro Cragar SS Question
 

14x10 and the backspacing is 3.75" I would bet 4.5 would rub but I might be wrong.

Dave, what are the back spacing specs and pricing?

Re: '68 Camaro Cragar SS Question
 

4.50 will rub the springs if you run large size tires. My rims are 3.75 BS and the tires are about 1/4- 5/8 away from the springs

Fravel Camaro 14 x6 front and 15x10 rear identical to my rims backspacing and all.

Mark you need to run vintage bias plys on your car

I can't wait to see it with the "right" wheels. Also, another vote for bias plies! Radials would be a disservice to it IMO. Especially since you can find Pro Trac N50-15s, and I believe Kelsey tires make 14 inch Goodyears.

Dang, I get the love for the bias ply's and the Pro Tracs, but I am just not sure how they will ride. I was considering doing some P295/50 R15's just to get the width on radials though.

Well, I'd assume they won't be too bad. I see so many cars running Polyglas it can't be that bad.
