'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.

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

Re: '68 Camaro Cragar SS Question
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.

Re: '68 Camaro Cragar SS Question
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.

Re: '68 Camaro Cragar SS Question
Well, I'd assume they won't be too bad. I see so many cars running Polyglas it can't be that bad.
